Description: Our Early Learning Curriculum we use in our classrooms are Hougton Mufflin and Second Step.
The reason why we are different is that our children are ready to learn and are prepared for kindergarten.
Houghton Mufflin includes ten engaging and child centered themes that sparks the imaginations and a love of learning. Our children are engaged in hands on activities, learning centers, bright and colorful books for reading. This curriculum helps children to build connections, develops oral vocabulary and comprehension. Our certified teachers read aloud stories for each theme. Each engaging story is a fable or a fairy tale from diffrent cultures and regions of the world. Our readings also includes poetry, math, science, social studies, fiction and nonfiction. Houghton Mufflin teaches skills such as phonological awareness, letter knowledge, vocabulary, oral language skills, and number sense for academic success.

These skills will go with them as they grow up to be adults. The Second Step early learning program promotes school readiness as well as social and life success.

Please do not subject your child to this facility. I believe this center to be a scam, nothing that is claimed is implemented at this daycare. The director is a liar and will lie to you right in your face. I am a former employee and I can tell you first hand that what she advertise is not what is going on here. The description of the center claims that it is educational base but I can assure that is not the case. Children sit at tables for long periods of time with little to do to peak their development. The director seems to care more about cleaning with pine sol than making sure that the children who attend her center are being nurtured and developing to there best abilities. I am ashamed of this center and I have no idea how this center is still open.
I applied for a teacher assistant position here and asked the director a couple times if it was part or full time she never answered me directly just did a hand motion and because of my open availability she implied I would work noon to 6 pm Mon. - Fri. then after i go threw and pay for a physical and x rays to get the job she calls me up the 2nd day i'm suppose to go and tells me they will call me when they need me. If I would have known it was just as neeeded i would not have gone through paying for the medical expenses.
The afterschool program has no structure at all. Staff over worked
