Academics in any preschool should be introduced at the child's level where they're able to comprehend it at their age, It's a teacher directed,, their object is to teach them something that they learn something from but they're not quite actually aware that they're learning it. For example, you can have all the kids stand on the letter B, and then A, and then T and it's a fun game. However they're actually learning to site their numbers and letters and spell at the end of the day, but it needs to be child directed. So a child has the freedom to either participate or not, and if they don't want it at that point, you can re-introduce it later when they might have a more openess to it and understanding.

Renae Plant

Preschooler Director

Australian native Renae Plant saved Los Angeles-based Camelot Preschool on February 14, 2008 along with a handful of parents who believed that Camelot should remain a community preschool. Over the years, Camelot has flourished under her leadership as owner/director. Renae improved the campus with eco-friendly bamboo floors, synthetic grass, themed sand castle and play structures. Her biggest accomplishment was turning a run-down shed, in record time, into an eco-friendly, open plan classroom with natural skylights and a special indoor/outdoor feel. Most recently she planned and added a Kindergarten Program to compliment the school and continues to implement new exciting parent involvement programs as well as Music, Spanish, Yoga and Sign Language.  She oversees the day-to-day running of Camelot as well as juggling her hubby Livinio and three kids, Ilan, Mateo and Deklan, (all of whom attended Camelot) and her bump maternity clothing line.
