The Sunshine Saxon Preschool Lab is a hands-on Early Childhood Education program for high school students. Under a licensed teacher’s guidance, they plan and teach lessons to preschool-aged children, focusing on motor skills, early literacy, math, science, and art. This real-world experience helps high school students explore careers with children while the preschoolers learn in a nurturing environment.
