Enrichment at DUMC Preschool
Our enrichment programs are thoughtfully designed to let every child follow their curiosity — moving, making, and discovering in an environment where they feel safe enough to take real risks.
Why Enrichment Matters
Our enrichment programs sit alongside our core preschool day, offering children the chance to discover new passions, build focus, and deepen friendships. Each program is led by teachers who have been part of this community for many years — so the warmth your child finds in the classroom follows them into every activity.
In a world that moves fast, yoga gives young children a moment to slow down, breathe, and feel settled in their own bodies. Through gentle poses, breathing games, and guided imagination, children build focus and a quiet confidence that carries into the rest of their school day.
Children leave each session a little calmer, a little more aware of how their bodies feel, and often excited to show a parent their favorite pose at pickup.
There are no mistakes in the art room — only discoveries. Children work with paint, collage, clay, and mixed media to explore color, texture, and their own imagination. The process matters here, not the product.
Over a semester, children develop a willingness to experiment, a deeper ability to concentrate on a self-chosen task, and a genuine pride in what their hands can make. Many families notice these small shifts long before the semester ends.
More Ways to Grow
Two more programs round out our enrichment offerings — one for children who are already enrolled, one for families who aren't quite ready for a full preschool day.
Children discover the joy of rhythm through singing, clapping, simple instruments, and movement that follows the beat. A love of music that begins here often carries all the way into kindergarten and beyond — children remember the songs long after the school year ends.
