About the Provider

Description:

We believe that each child has an innate drive for exploring, discovering, communicating, and learning. Our purpose is to provide a safe, warm, and nurturing environment for children to develop this innate drive to the fullest, and become life-long learners. Our goal is to help each child develop his/her individual interests, creativity and potential at their own pace by providing a wide variety of fun and age appropriate activities and materials. In addition to the developmental goals in the areas of math, language, science, cognitive skills, motor skills, etc., stipulated by the state, the school aims to promote learning skills for life.

At the same time we aim to enhance the child’s social, moral, cultural and spiritual growth through group interactions, uplifting stories, cultural events and gentle guidance. Since “a healthy mind is in a healthy body” as the Ancient Greeks said, we provide a huge indoors gym and a beautiful play ground with regular physical activities.

The bilingual aspect of our program is in tune with today’s multicultural and diverse society and provides a rare enrichment in a child’s education. For children of Greek descent this strengthens their sense of cultural heritage, identity, and community. However, children of non-Greek descent can also profit tremendously from learning such a historically important language as Greek. Countless Greek words are incorporated in the English language, words that we use every day without knowing it. Greek is the universal language of science and the original language of the Gospels, and kids will be grateful later in life that they learned it.
