We Believe in Play!
Our play-based curriculum offers a variety of activities in the fields of art, music, science, pre-math and pre-literacy. Our goal is to produce invested, self-motivated learners. We will do this by reinforcing social and academic skills, while building a sense of community and a positive climate for learning.
