Our program is based on the National Association for the Education of Young Children's guidelines on Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs and Creative Curriculum.

Activities that your child will be given the opportunity to participate in include: creative art, music, fine and gross motor development, sand and water play, songs and finger plays, story time, promotion of a positive self-image, readiness skills for math, reading and writing, dramatic play and many activities that promote positive social skills.
