| The
Curriculum: Our Program is designed to foster the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth of each child, with emphasis on the development of self-reliance in a group environment. The daily schedule includes free playtime and structured activities, stimulating the children through art, music, craft projects, puzzles, games, and imaginary play. In order to provide a basis for later learning, an introduction to reading and mathematics is offered informally through songs and games, incorporating counting and word or sound recognition skills. Children complete our program with a respect for others and themselves, as well as an eagerness to begin kindergarten. |
