We think of children as the protagonists in their own compelling and unique life stories. We believe that the quality of children's development, their progress through that story, is largely dependent on the quality of their significant relationships with other people, including their families, their teachers and their friends. |

Cresset Christian Academy Preschool offers children through pre-kindergarten a rich, Christ-centered learning experience for their early years. We are committed to the quality of education in our pre-school. We believe that the first years of education should prepare children for a lifetime of learning. Maybe that's why we've received a four-star rating from the State of North Carolina. Our curriculum, written expressly for our pre-school, is scripture-driven. Infants work on building awareness through their five senses, and our 2 through 4 year-olds participate in a different special activity or field trip every month. At Cresset, we believe the diversity of our school should reflect the diversity found in the kingdom of God. That's why if you walk our halls, you won't just see a full ethnic diversity, you'll also find that we strive to incorporate diverse cultural traditions and learning styles. From friends to story time to play time, you'll find we offer your child a place to grow, learn, and explore. |

GOOD BEGINNINGS INFANT/TODDLER CLASSROOM Durham, NC 27703 (919) 314-6849 |
In many important ways, our preschool years determine our future competitive role in the global economy, the public safety of our communities, the cost-effective investment of public and private dollars, and the success of welfare reform. When child care becomes necessary for families; quality child care becomes critical for children. If done well, child care benefits us all. What do we mean when we say child care? Child care is the fee-based early education and care services a child receives in a center or home-based setting when not in the direct care of a parent. The safe, nurturing environment of quality child care may support a child's need for early education, a parent's need to work or attend school, or a child's need for a healthy meal and protection resulting from a family crisis. |

You have great hopes for your child and so do we! That is why Primrose Schools distinguishes itself by creating a safe and nurturing environment where children are happy and continually preparing for a bright tomorrow. We call our unique accredited curriculum Balanced Learning, blending the two leading philosophies of teaching children. One of those philosophies endorses a child-initiated approach, in which children are free to explore their individual interest with teacher support. The other places a greater emphasis on teacher direction, where an established curriculum leads children along a consistent learning path. Through Balanced Learning, we combine the best of both philosophies. We let the particular interests of each child serve as the springboard to healthy social, emotional, physical and academic development, while teachers guide them to self assurance and prepare them for lifelong academic and social success. |
