About the Provider
We offer children a preschool experience in which they will grow emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively. Our classroom environment encourages individuality and inquisitiveness while providing boundaries within which this growth will take place. Our program offers your child the opportunity to interact with other children in an environment that is scaled to and planned for him. He is stimulated, not pressured, to ask questions, to think for himself, and to try out new ideas. The program is a flexible child centered one designed to satisfy the needs of the individual children within the group. Each session follows a routine or schedule that becomes familiar to the children.
