| Other subjects taught | Our enrichment classes include cooking and gardening.Both of these are my favorites! I love watching children learn through all of our hands on activities. Whether it's using a rolling pin to make biscuits, or digging in the dirt, this sensory approach to learning is the best! We now offer computer center and art classes. | n/a | ||||

I like the fact that most of the teaching is play-based and fun for the kids. My kids have learned shapes,colors, etc, through play, not 'lessons' at home, and this is consistent at their school.
