History
A Place of My Own or APOMO is a non-profit preschool that has been in Napa since 1981. In August 2012 we moved to our wonderful new location connected to Crosswalk Church. We use the church building but have no religious affiliation.
Specialties
We are a preschool & child care serving children ages 2-6. We spend our morning divided into three groups for traditional preschool time. Our Yellow Duck group is children ages 2-3, and the Red Bird and Brown Bear groups are 3 & 4-year-olds. The Green Frog group is for children going on to TK or kindergarten the next school year. We plan our curriculum around monthly themes relating to the time of year, children's interests, and holidays. In addition during the traditional school year (September-May), we also have alphabet letters, numbers, shapes, and colors that we focus on. After lunch and naptime, we often spend the rest of the afternoon together as a large group outside (weather permitting). One of the advantages of mixed age groups is that each child can seek out their own level, their own speed, and their own interests. Each child has the opportunity to receive help from others as needed and may act as the helper in return.
