Savvy Source's Comments

The CUMP program is based on the interest, needs and abilities of the preschool-age child. We offer an educational experience through a well-planned program that provides opportunities for children to:


become aware that their own feelings and emotions are natural and acceptable.
learn to express themselves in constructive ways.
grow in their understanding and enjoyment of themselves and others by
learning to share, take turns and play cooperatively.
be active learners by exploring and organizing their world.
express curiosity and wonder at all the varied and interesting aspects of life.
explore new books, games, materials and activities.
try out new roles through dramatic play.
build a strong background of concrete experiences for language and cognitive development.
All activities of the preschool are designed to be developmentally appropriate while meeting the needs of the individual child. Children?s discovery of themselves and their world is very exciting. Learning to participate in group activities enables children to make the transition to kindergarten with less stress. PLAY is children?s work.

Have your child clean old coins to make them sparkle again. Fill a bowl with a small amount of soapy water and place a few coins in the bowl. Your child will have fun brushing the coins with a toothbrush to make them look brand new. When the coins are as clean as your child can make them, dry them with a paper towel.
