Our Curriculum

Young children are learning about their environment, exploring new ideas, and learning to be friends. Our schedule is designed to stimulate their minds and keep them busy. We incorporate engaging hands on activities including gardening, baking, crafts, music, and occasional field trips. Literacy and language skills, written words, and group story time is an important part of our daily routine. The children gain personal responsibility for their physical needs and are encouraged to try new things. Children are given opportunities for guided and independent exploration.
