Overbrook Preschool, a part-time preschool located in the Clintonville area, is a loving and enriching environment in which children can grow and learn in a safe and secure setting. The Preschool began serving the north Columbus area in 1966. Overbrook Preschool has a Step Up to Quality Gold Award from the State of Ohio!
Our teachers have college degrees and continue to expand and improve their knowledge and information about young learners by participating in continuing education and in-service trainings.
Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards are incorporated in the preschool curriculum and presented in the context of play. Teachers plan activities and learning centers based on the interests and development of the children in their classes. Teachers use The Creative Curriculum, a comprehensive, research-based assessment system to aid their intentional planning for each child.
Play-based or academic-focused?
Overbrook Preschool integrates both play-based and academic-focused learning approaches. The staff at Overbrook Preschool recognize the importance of play in early childhood education, encouraging active play for the majority of the day. This play-based approach is complemented by structured teacher-led activities that cover essential academic skills such as letter recognition, letter sounds, sight words, word formation, number recognition, tally marks, charting, experiments, etc. Feedback from graduating families indicates that this balanced approach effectively prepared their children for kindergarten!
“Play is fundamentally important for learning 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity.~ American Academy of Pediatrics
