A nurturing and playful environment paves the way for your child’s early learning. Counting, sequencing and sorting games get your child off to a bright start in math. Storytelling, picture interpretation, songs and dramatic play open the world of language for your child. Fine motor skill development is honed through art activities, puzzle assembly, and manipulative toys. Our staff engages children in give and take conversations to encourage healthy social and emotional development and language development. Outdoor play occurs daily to give your child the chance to develop gross motor skills as well as an appreciation for the great outdoors. Teachers lead simple science activities to stimulate your child’s curiosity about the world. Self reliance is taught by helping your child learn self help skills like hand-washing, toilet training and self dressing.
