Director's Comments

Our curriculum is thematic, with each age group studying the same themes, but applying age-appropriate strategies to teaching. The curriculum is a well-constructed three year curriculum so that children do not repeat the same themes every year. Activities that relate to the monthly theme include music, creative movement, fitness and nutrition lessons, art projects, science experiments, and Spanish lessons. Each month will end with a Celebration of Learning for the entire school. This will be a day of fun and exploration for the children. In addition to these components, each age group will have distinct learning opportunities.


Parents' Comments

Parent #1
They do have fitness twice a week and free play on the outside playground. If weather is bad then they have free play inside.
