An Inviting Campus for Fairview-Area Preschool Families

The preschool years are full of important firsts: joining a group, asking a question in class, recognizing a letter, or figuring out how to solve a problem with a friend. At Heritage, teachers make space for those moments through purposeful activities and plenty of exploration.

Children spend their days developing early academic knowledge while also learning to communicate clearly, use their imaginations, coordinate their movements, and participate with classmates. Learning is guided by each age group’s changing interests and abilities.

Our school is situated on a three-acre property in McKinney, with turf play areas and dedicated spaces for sensory discovery, phonics, and imaginative play. Controlled classroom entry and video monitoring are part of our safety approach. We also share school information through ClassDojo and newsletters to help parents remain involved.

If you are weighing preschool choices around Fairview, seeing the classrooms in action can help you picture your child’s experience.

Preschool Classrooms for Every Early Milestone

From a toddler’s first school routine to a four-year-old’s kindergarten preparation, each program offers a different level of challenge and support.

Little Primers

(Beginning at 18 Months )

Little Primers introduces our youngest learners to a predictable classroom day. With books, songs, movement, and playful interaction, teachers support vocabulary, listening, and early social confidence. Gentle guidance helps toddlers become comfortable spending time with other children and caring adults.

Early Preschool

(Age 2)

At two, children begin testing ideas and expressing preferences. Early Preschool provides hands-on ways to explore shapes, sounds, counting, art, and movement. Group activities also create practice in sharing materials, using words for emotions, and following simple classroom expectations.

Preschool

(Age 3)

Three-year-olds engage in projects and lessons that connect curiosity with literacy, number sense, and early writing. The Frog Street Curriculum supports developing skills, while play and creative work remain important parts of the day. Daily Spanish instruction introduces additional words and sounds.

Pre-Kindergarten

(Age 4)

Our Pre-K classroom prepares four-year-olds for the next school chapter through Circle Pre-K and literacy activities grounded in the Science of Reading. Children strengthen sound recognition, early phonics, oral language, and problem-solving, while also practicing participation, responsibility, and independence.

Flexible Preschool Attendance for Fairview Parents

Finding the right preschool schedule can depend on a child’s readiness, work hours, and the route a family travels each day. At Heritage’s McKinney campus, full-day programming is available alongside several part-time choices for children who are two, three, or four by September 1:

Five mornings per week, 8:00 a.m. to noon
Three mornings per week, 8:00 a.m. to noon
Three full days, with flexible drop-off and pickup

A morning-only routine can provide an introduction to structured learning while leaving the afternoon open. Three full days may appeal to households who want a longer experience on fewer days each week.

Full-day students have more time to settle into classroom routines, develop relationships, and experience the full rhythm of the day. For Fairview families, we recommend considering the practical drive to the McKinney campus as you compare schedules.

Ask our staff about the latest tuition, classroom openings, age requirements, and attendance options.

Helping Young Learners Get Ready for What Comes Next

Preparation for kindergarten is about academic foundations and everyday confidence. Children benefit when they can listen to a story, attempt a challenge, communicate a need, and cooperate with a group—not simply identify letters or count objects.

At Heritage, preschool learning encourages progress across several connected areas:

Story comprehension, speech sounds, and new vocabulary
Counting, sorting, shapes, and mathematical thinking
Hand coordination, balance, and large-muscle movement
Attention, listening, and classroom routines
Cooperative play and consideration for others
Putting thoughts, needs, and emotions into words
Making choices and working through challenges
Practicing age-appropriate self-care and responsibility
Art, music, imaginative projects, and active play
Feeling comfortable participating in a group

Preschool and Pre-K children also participate in Spanish lessons. Families may explore additional enrichment choices including STEM and coding, dance, piano, athletic programs, and fitness activities. Learn more about enrichment at Heritage.
