They are eager to explore and to let you know what they like and what they need. Their language and literacy skills are growing and they are more able to vocalize, communicate and problem solve. They are able to think mathematically noticing different colors and shapes, putting things in order by size, matching, and sorting objects.

read moreOur hands-on, science-based curriculum gives children a boost into educational excellence while fostering curiosity, independence, self-reliance, and emotional maturity. Classrooms are set-up around interest centers where children explore age-appropriate materials that are designed to foster skills from the earliest age. These "building-blocks" are always changing as teachers observe the activities children choose. Our program promotes a developing knowledge of scientific concepts (observing, classifying, communication, measuring, and predicting) through real experiences such as playing in the mud, examining rocks and leaves, noticing the different sizes of shadows, sorting buttons or shapes and by recognizing similarities and differences in objects.
