Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Tugboats uses the ABEKA Christian curriculum which has taught our children the sound of each letter for reading and speaking better; numbers are counted out on abacus so they really know how many a number represents-not just memory. Sign language is also taught through weekly scripture verses. Children get to dress up and act out bible stories and nursery rhymes.
