About the Provider

Description: At The Children's Palace we want each of the children to get a head start. Through the early stages we teach the children different subjects and cater specifically to their needs.

Individuality is the focus of our curriculum. The teachers are continuously aware of your child as he/she develops in their environment. We aim to concentrate on social, intellectual, physical and emotional development. We will stress co-operation & helpfulness in group exercises, by learning to follow directions while emphasizing sharing. Adding to the curriculum we now develop skills with our computer lab & communication through sign language as well.

You can choose the schedule that works best for your child. Your children can come to the center for either a half-day or a full-day, as few as two days a week or as many as five days a week year round.
