Our curriculum provides a variety of developmentally appropriate materials and activities which foster social skills and encourage children to think, problem solve, question, and experiment. We foster positive self-concept by supporting individuality, independence, and the ability to make choices. We encourage creative expression and demonstrate respect for diversity. Our school is a happy place where learning is fun!
