Through carefully planned and implemented learning experiences, children gain knowledge, skills and attitudes that support their development. In addition, children have the opportunity to make decisions and solve problems with the guidance of teachers. The program is designed to meet and enhance the development of the whole child; physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually and creatively. The curriculum includes music, science, art, math, literacy, cooking, large and small muscle activities, games, outdoor play and campus field trips.
