Children this age
love to test the world around them. We believe each child is unique
and learns best through a rich, nurturing environment. Our schedule
is designed to help each student deal with challenging tasks that at
first might appear overwhelming. Our curriculum is designed so that
we can work with your child either individually or in a small group.
We hope your child will explore, experiment, take risks, and grow to
be independent.
Our curriculum uses
a thematic, whole language approach where children can explore and learn
about the world they live in. This allows a child to develop mentally
emotionally, physically, and intellectually at an individual rate.
