Overview

Each program includes free-choice activities, as well as teacher-directed ones. It includes active and quiet times. Each day is carefully planned to include large and small muscle activities, creative, social and cognitive experiences, indoor and outdoor activities, a time for listening and conversation, snack and music. We provide a positive and stimulating environment for each child to grow and develop physically, socially, emotionally, aesthetically, and intellectually at his own rate as an individual.  We achieve these goals through the use of patient guidance, opportunities for self-exploration and fun! 

In addition, we invite family participation throughout the school year when it’s acceptable within social distancing practices. Some activities include Parent Orientation Night, parent-teacher conferences, holiday parties, Dino Museum Night, Food Fest, Mother’s Day Brunches, and Recognition Day.

We work closely with local early childhood professionals and consultants. They provide us with suggestions and guidance, so we can better work with your child.   If your child requires help beyond our expertise, we will refer you to the specialist needed.
