Each
child's learning style is recognized, respected and nurtured.
Our program does not push a child into academics. We promote
communication skills, understanding our feelings, problem
solving, decision making and independence skills. When
a child has mastered these areas, they are ready for learning
academics.
We
do not prepare children for school; however, the skills
they acquire and the challenges they master are very beneficial
to the upcoming school experience.
