School Notes
- Each class offers their own curriculum. We begin each moring with a nutritious breakfast. The class then goes on to their circle time, which introduces an array of educational fun ranging from letters, to numbers, to colors and even writing their names and full lesson plans in the kindergarten class. There is so much more to our center then can be expressed in a few short words. Please come tour our center to see what we truly have to offer your family!
