Safari Kid Hayward

At Safari Kid, we believe childhood should be celebrated! Our proprietary preschool curriculum takes inspiration from a mix of both traditional methods (Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf) and reflects current brain research on early childhood development.
This has resulted in a focus on the whole child, in which we offer the perfect balance of learning and play.
Our daycare and preschool programs are carefully developed to ignite curiosity and encourage lifelong learning, but it doesn`t end there! We also offer a well-rounded after-school program for children in kindergarten through 8th grade, which provides a combination of valuable academic support and engaging extra-curricular enrichment.
At Safari Kid, our kindergarten students are encouraged to become partners in their own learning with our use of theSocratic Methodof teaching.
Meeting the Common Core standards is just a part of what our students will accomplish. Allow us to help turn your child`s Potential into Possibilities at Safari Kid Hayward.
