As families in Henderson gear up for the new school year, many reflect on the milestones their children have reached—like recent graduates of Coronado Prep Preschool (coronadopreppreschool.com) who are stepping confidently into kindergarten and beyond. These young learners embody the school’s commitment to preparing children for success through a nurturing and developmentally appropriate environment.
“We build a strong foundation for lifelong learning by focusing on the whole child,” says Jennifer Sullivan, owner and director of Coronado Prep Preschool. “Through hands-on exploration, social interaction, and teacher-guided instruction, children gain critical thinking skills, independence, emotional regulation, and a sense of self-confidence.” Daily routines and engaging activities foster curiosity, cooperation, and resilience—qualities essential for thriving both academically and socially.
Coronado Prep’s curriculum combines play-based learning with structured developmental milestones. “Our program focuses on early literacy, numeracy, fine motor skills, and problem-solving,” Jennifer explains. The Pre-K classes emphasize classroom routines, self-help skills, and peer collaboration in small group settings. Social-emotional learning and STEM activities are integrated throughout, while family engagement events support a smooth transition to kindergarten.
Jennifer recalls one standout student, Averie, who joined the preschool as a toddler and blossomed into a confident learner by Pre-K. “Her teachers noted her leadership during group projects and her ability to problem-solve independently,” Jennifer says. Averie exceeded expectations on her kindergarten assessment, and her parents credit Coronado Prep for the smooth transition to elementary school.
Families choose Coronado Prep for its low teacher-to-child ratios, nurturing staff, and individualized learning approach. “We combine experience, passion, and a deep commitment to quality early education,” Jennifer notes. “We are more than a preschool—we are a community where children develop a love for learning.”
“Early childhood is a magical time full of potential,” Jennifer reflects. “We are honored to play a role in each child's journey and take pride in celebrating every milestone. Our success comes from creating a loving, consistent environment that supports children and their families every step of the way.”
At Coronado Prep Preschool, children are not only ready for school—they are ready to succeed.
