Our Program
Understanding that each child is an individual is an extremely important aspect of creating our daily lessons. Our programs use highly regarded and documented philosophies, discipline strategies and developmentally-relevant curriculums. As your child advances through each class level, the balance of the curriculum shifts from a strong emphasis on play-based activities to a balanced blend of academic and conceptual activities.
We often beat the state required ratios of child-to-caregiver, have high standards when it comes to cleanliness of our facilities, perform frequent safety checks throughout the center and keep up with all recalls.
Above all, your child will have experiences that allow for individual as well as group learning.
