Description: We believe children need a safe, well-rounded environment that nurtures their whole self. Our Whole Child Education approach to teaching goes beyond just prepping your child for kindergarten. Our curriculum concentrates on seven sets of skills, including early literacy, logical thinking, problem solving, social understanding, physical coordination, creativity and positive character traits, such as cooperation and self-control. We believe that every activity is an opportunity to teach. Our motto, “Play with a purpose,” guides the daily curriculum designed to stimulate your child’s fullest potential.By nurturing all areas of your child’s development, we are creating good citizens and lifelong learners with a strong intellectual curiosity.
