School's goal is to teach children how to learn, giving them a valuable tool for success in their later years as well.
This curriculum encourages children to be independent, self-confident, and inquisitive individuals.
We use materials such as blocks to help the children learn about size, shape, and color.
After learning these basic concepts, we teach the children words and numbers, which are more abstract.
Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children.
It provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child's cognitive, language, social, emotional, and creative development.
Within the program's daily schedule, each child has opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills, and learn concepts through first-hand experiences.
