Director's Comments

We emphasize a "learning to learn" educational program, allowing the individual child the opportunity to progress at his/her own pace, while at the same time, developing his/her strengths for processing information by training and stimulating all the perceptual modalities. Based on the theory that children learn by doing, classroom programs encourage active involvement in a meaning-centered environment. Tasks are designed with an emphasis on the process rather than the product, fostering a true sense of accomplishment and pride.
