BVSD PreSchool Enrichment (PSE) supports what three- and four-year-olds learn in the Integrated Preschool Program. Pre-literacy and pre-math activities are joined by outside fun, relationship building and extended creative projects. Our Supervisors foster children's natural curiosity and encourage them to practice problem solving while they play.
