About the Provider

Advertisement

The Joseph H. Messina Children’s Center offers our 21st Century families an Early Childhood Education program that is innovative and initiated by the children. We find that children who initiate their learning are more engaged in the work they do. Children learn problem solving skills, emergent math and literacy, vocabulary, and sequencing, while exploring topics that interest them. Our Natural Playscape compliments our curriculum by bringing the classroom outside! Our lush campus, inviting gardens, and soothing fountain provides the perfect haven for parents and children to enjoy after a long day.
