2023/2024 SCHooL YEAR

Age-Appropriate Curriculum to develop a child’s love of learning. Our play-based curriculum is provided in a safe, nurturing environment which gives children opportunities to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically. Children participate in a variety of activities everyday including art, music, movement, dramatic play, math, science, block play, story time and group discussions. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized throughout our two-year program are recognition and printing of first names with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower case letters when named and reciting numbers 1-20.
