School Notes
- 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.
