About the Provider

Description: At Kradle 2 Kindergarten we believe that every child is special and autonomous. We provide a safe, nurturing environment that promotes the child’s strengths while accepting their differences. Each classroom follows these same beliefs but goes further by giving instruction to the children based on their age, needs, abilities and interests. Beginning in the infant room we structure the classroom to promote literacy, creativity, emotionality, and physicality. As your child progresses through our schools, he/she will grow into a child that is comfortable with exploration and loves to learn. The classroom design provides a space for the children to be comfortable and safe. We are able to design our classrooms specifically to meet all children’s needs because we understand that each child has a special way of learning.
Following the Multiple Intelligence Theory, our teachers guide each child in realizing their potential. Each child conceptualizes knowledge in different ways; therefore options are provided so every child can and will succeed. With this, our teachers design their lessons allowing for active learning and interactive teaching. Incorporating Apple computers and IPads along with Smart board technology into our classrooms, we accomplish this goal everyday.
