Our Philosophy
Our program is committed to the belief that children build confidence, joy, and independence through respect, love, and a strong sense of self. We focus on development by:
- Providing hands on experiences through arts & crafts activities, play dough, music activities, science and cooking, structured playground individual and team exercises, and open play.
- Presenting problem-solving techniques that hone children’s critical thinking skills to build a better self-concept within a positive atmosphere.
Our Mission
To create an environment of learning for both parents and children that strengthens the relationship between each other, their neighbors, and their community.
Our Objectives
To provide pre-kindergarten fundamentals, including
- developing and fine-tuning small and large motor skills.
- To provide interactions and dealings with other preschoolers.
- To provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children.
- To provide knowledge and instruction to the families on parenting skills.
- To provide an affordable, non-discriminating service to families of all races, creeds, national origins, religions, genders, or sexual orientations.
