All of our 3-5 year old teachers are certified teachers, therefore, we teach through the most current and developmentally appropriate practices. We want to establish a love for learning and being at school. The learning will then naturally happen.

Director's Comments

In all classrooms, we structure learning around Circle time, Centers, Free Play, Art, and music. The length of each activity is determined by the age of the child.
