About the Provider

Description: We believe that children “learn by doing,” and that by integrating skills and concepts into play activities, we can maximize learning potential. Each child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability and learning styles are expected, accepted and used to design appropriate activities. Interactions and activities are planned to develop self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning.
