"My child was so proud to attend pre-k 3 at Langley. As the year went on, I was more certain that I had made the right decision in choosing our neighborhood school. She learned so much and made friends who live nearby. We appreciate being a part of this community. Can't wait for next year!"

Langley uses The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool: a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that emphasizes exploration and discovery as a way of learning.  Through hands on studies and project based investigations, the curriculum helps teachers build children’s confidence, creativity and critical thinking skills.
