Parents' Comments

Parent #1
The school has a great structure as far as the facility is concerned. The director however,is very rude, condicending and curt. The teachers for the most part are good with occasional diapering issues. They also encourage children who isolate. which can be a pro for them but for parents that want there child engaged it is a definate con.

Parent #2
I truly believe that this program is the best that a child can get. The commitment from teachers and parents together give your child the opportunity to greater learning.

School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Children are unique individuals who carry within themselves unlimited potential
In allowing children the freedom to learn and grow at their own pace
In the value of cultural richness and multi-ethnic diversity
That children develop self-confidence, independence, initiative, a sense of order, concentration and a love of learning in an atmosphere of freedom and discipline
That the program's strength lies in the educational team made up of teachers and parents
That parental involvement is an essential ingredient to a child's educational success
Educational progress is measured in many ways: family projects, portfolios, performances, classroom participation, and play
FALC Curriculum Design
The prepared environment possesses a progressive order of developmentally - appropriate equipment and materials that children manipulate at their own speed and in a non-competitive manner. The multicultural curriculum uses an eclectic approach combining various subject areas such as math, science, language, literacy, music, movement, geography, social studies and the arts. This approach offers a mix of both interactive and individualized lessons. The constantly evolving process allows teachers to observe the child's capacity and design activities that fit particular developmental needs.
