curriculum
We believe that preschool age children learn largely through play and social interaction. Daily, they will experience hands on activities, be encouraged to develop self-help skills, make choices and decisions, solve problems, ask questions, explore and be creative! The preschool experience should be a positive one giving children the opportunity to build positive self-esteem.
