Our goal is to prepare your child for kindergarten whether they will attend a private or public school in any community.
At the beginning of the pre-k year, your child should have some basic skills in the areas of math, reading readiness, social/emotional development and practical skills.
Strong work habits, listening skills and appropriate behaviors are necessary for your child to smoothly transition into kindergarten.

These teachers become family members in that they have the BEST interest at heart for your child. They are educated, kind , insightful, AND professional. Each one of them come to know your child almost as well as you do. They ALWAYS have an update for you on how your child did at the end of the day and are ALWAYS available for any questions you may have. Both myself and my grandson are blessed and have become better people just by being at Learning Path. This is technically a business but BELIEVE ME, they become your family!!!!!! My grandson has grown academically, emotionally and socially. We will always be grateful for the experience at Learning Path!!! Thank you Donna and staff!!!!
