We believe that play is a child's response to life.
This belief guides our curriculum based programs. In order to successfully teach a young child we must use a play based curriculum to encourage meaningful learning opportunities.
Our caring and well trained staff is dedicated to fostering each aspect of a child's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, by focusing on each child's interest and needs.
The goals of all our programs are to support each child in the learning process, to help them build trust, learn social skills, develop positive self-esteem, and begin mastery of academic skills.
