Incredible Grounds- A spacious 3-acres of fun for children

Carmel Mountain Preschool is located on three lush acres of property, providing plenty of space for the children to explore and learn in various environments. The teachers enjoy creating themed activities for the children to experience on the nine outdoor learning decks and soccer field. The activity may be building a spaceship out of Play-Doh for space week or painting their favorite creature from the sea to learn about aquatic animals. Whatever activity it may be, the outdoor learning decks provide a space with fresh air, where the children feel comfortable to explore their surroundings.

Carmel Mountain Preschool has three separate playgrounds that were built for each age group and they encompass many natural elements where children can climb, run, and explore. Not only are the children able to strengthen their gross motor skills, but the playgrounds offer a place where they can play with water & mud for sensory enhancement. Many other organizations and schools across the country have come to Carmel Mountain Preschool to gather ideas and inspiration for their facilities. It is truly a one-of-a-kind space, that was specially designed for enhancing children’s abilities and happiness.

The expansive campus at Carmel Mountain Preschool allows the children to spend more time outdoors, while connecting with others and experiencing the fun play-based learning activities.

Since children are starting to learn to talk and develop their language skills, it is important to provide guidance so they can best perfect their communication style. CMP offers a Speech-Language Pathologist to support your child and help them build their receptive, expressive, and social language skills. These skills will help them feel more confident at home, school, and in their community

Conscious Discipline Child Centered Guidance- Provides the best communication for learning & enhancement

Carmel Mountain Preschool is proud to use Conscious Discipline methods throughout the campus. We believe in making the children feel safe, so that they can listen and learn through challenging situations. Conscious Discipline focuses on the internal brain body states that are most likely to produce certain behaviors in children and in ourselves. With this awareness, we learn to consciously manage our own thoughts and emotions so we can help children learn to do the same.
