Classrooms & CurriculumEach child has his or her own particular learning style and rate of development therefore, our emphasis is on meeting the needs of each individual child. Our basic curriculum philosophy is "Children Learn Through Play." Each classroom has a planned environment.
The toys, equipment and activity centers are designed to help each child develop certain concepts and skills that will form the foundation upon which they will build throughout the years in educational facilities and beyond. Our approach encourages positive self-esteem, problem solving, decision making and individual responsibility. |
