Savvy Source's Comments

The young child internalizes concepts through movement, repetition, the use of their senses and the manipulation of concrete objects. We provide a rich environment of well-structured tasks in a broad and far reaching curriculum. The children are permitted freedom of choice within a stimulating environment with clearly defined limits. They work individually and in small and large groups. They become absorbed by their chosen tasks and experience a deep, inner satisfaction. They develop a positive attitude and excellent foundation for creative learning.
