About the Provider
We believe children should have fun! After all, even the experts agree that preschool age children learn most through play. These carefree years are so short, and soon the children will be exposed to a much more structured form of learning.
How do we encourage children to love preschool education? By making learning fun! Each month a theme is presented. These themes are all based on things of special interest to children. We introduce activities that help promoting basic skills (letter and number recognition, color and shape recognition, large motor skills, small motor skills, etc.) and as many of these activities as possible center around the month’s theme. Our schedule also includes math, reading and writing in English and Russian language, gymnastics, arts, musical and dancing lessons.
