Programs
Our program is designed to stimulate development, learning, and creativity in a loving environment. Many positive new experiences help provide each child with the opportunity to develop their physical, intellectual, emotional. and social abilities to their fullest potential. Within the structure of the group experience, each child is encouraged to express themselves creatively, interact with peers constructively, and to explore the world with their friends imaginatively. Since each child develops in their own unique way, our teachers and staff members teach in various ways so every child can learn.
"Every student can learn. Just not on the same day or in the same way." - George Evans
