About the Program

This program provides each child with a safe and loving learning environment. It allows each child time to grow physically, emotionally, socially, and academically. Each day is filled with fun and exciting adventures to help your child develop academically and socially. The curriculum and activities in the classroom are challenging, yet developmentally appropriate and exciting. They allow the students to think for themselves, as well as, provide them time to work with their peers in a positive and productive manner.

The students learn and explore many concepts and themes throughout the school year. Our teachers are well trained, educated, and nurturing individuals. They help the students in all areas of their growth and development while caring for them on a daily basis.   To keep parents informed about their child's growth, progress reports are distributed at parent/teacher conferences and home visits.  We also have parent advisory board meetings and parent data meetings to ensure parents and teachers are all working for the same goal of getting the students kindergarten ready.
