About the Provider

Description: At Scribbles we believe that our little ones are destined to do great things. They will be engineers, educators, entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and community leaders. But for now, they are little bundles of curiosity and wonder, learning from anything and everything they experience; and we find no greater joy than seeing the world through their eyes. In our classrooms, we approach learning from a child’s point of view, utilizing situations, examples, objects and ideas from their frame of reference. We also have a multi-dimensional approach to teaching, which means that every child is reached no matter what his or her learning style may be. As you’ll see when you visit our CURRICULUM PAGE, while our students are busy having fun with friends, singing, playing, creating and exercising—thanks to the creativity of our teachers, they are simultaneously achieving essential developmental milestones in the areas of Speech & Language, Math & Measurement, Movement & Motor Skills, Science & Discovery, Artistic Expression, and Social & Emotional development.
