To engage and nurture your child, we provide a balance of freedom and instruction. Our early childhood education classroom is designed as a learning community, where your child not only builds skills vital to success in kindergarten, but also gains respect for others, and a strong sense of confidence.
The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to prepare children for Kindergarten socially, physically and emotionally through the use of a Creative Curriculum. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts successfully. DEVELOPMENT GOALS
