preschool is a bit more structured and focused around learning. There is more of an emphasis on cognitive skills as we prepare children to enter into kindergarten. The alphabet is introduced in a fun and creative manner. Art, music, dramatic play and social interaction help each preschooler explore creativity and build self-esteem. Centers are stocked with developmentally appropriate materials which encourage children to explore and create. |
start kindergarten or are 4 years 6 months by the start of school. This program offers an extra year of learning and development for a child both cognitively and socially. Educational learning is emphasized in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Fundamental instruction includes math, science, art, drama and music, as well as motor skills training and personal and social development. The focus is less on play and more on learning. We try and maintain a balance between child-initiated and teacher-directed activities. Most teacher-directed activities are open-ended, allowing students to work at his or her own pace and, for the more able student, to extend their thinking and achievement. Problem solving and creativity are readily encouraged, and children are also invited to work independently as well as cooperatively with other classmates. |
that children are introduced to academic skills. Language development and socialization skills are emphasized in a structured yet fun environment. Much of the child’s learning is done through play.

The idea is to explore your child’s creativity and build their self- esteem. Activities in this class are based around the weekly themes which help keep the curriculum focused and fun. Children are learning to play together and work cooperatively. |
first time in a school environment. Our primary goal is to provide developmentally appropriate activities and experiences which will foster language development, opportunities for parallel play and socialization skills. The curriculum is presented through thematic units and all our toddler activities are designed for smaller hands and shorter attention spans. Large and small motor activities are planned within a safe environment where children will learn how to interact and get along with each other. Children also learn to develop toilet training skills (according to parents’ instructions) and other self-help skills which are an important part of an early childhood program. Toddlers are very active. As soon as they get on their feet, they want to use their large muscles to walk, run, climb, throw, kick and be on the go all the time. Our experienced, licensed teachers will work on the development of large motor skills such as balancing, throwing, kicking and jumping. The happiness toddlers get from physical activities makes them feel good about themselves, and about their growing abilities. |
