Philosophy:
Our program builds a strong early academic
foundation for future learning. We believe that
learning should be fun and enjoyable. Children
at this age should be encouraged to explore the
environment around them while learning.
Along with teaching the skills they need to be
successful in school we will foster an environment
of safe practices, kindness, manners/etiquette, and
strong leadership skills. We encourage our students
to be leaders and not followers, caretakers of animals
and stewards of our environment. We provide a fun,
stimulating environment for children to develop
intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially.
This academic experience provides children an
understanding of school and gives them an important
early start to the education process.
Curriculum and Instruction:
Our small classrooms offer children individualized
instruction. Combined with our thorough curriculum,
the students make fantastic progress. We target
specifi c content areas of instruction such as Language
and Communication, Vocabulary, Social and Emotional
Development, Reading, Writing, Mathematics,
Science, Computers, Object Recognition, Sensory
Development, Auditory Identifi cation and Association,
Fine and Gross Motor Skills, Music, Calendar, Weather,
Arts and Crafts and Enrichments. |
Our experienced, inspired certified Early Child
Development Teachers use a wealth of progressive
teaching techniques to aid comprehension. Dramatic
presentations and role playing, enticing manipulatives
and visuals, help a theme-based curriculum come alive
for early learners. We have a strong focus on early
literacy and all students are assessed at entry level.
Performance is then monitored and communicated on
an on-going basis.
