The Early Childhood Center is located across the street from the elementary school. Our center has the unique opportunity to begin in
the Early Childhood Building as early as 6 weeks old and stay in the same facility through their kindergarten year. This allows each
child to build a strong educational foundation in familiar surroundings with familiar people. Our children build positive relationships
with each other and the adults; this promotes a sense of well-being and belonging which in turn provides each student the positive and
ongoing support that encourages his/her complete development.

We believe the foundation for learning includes the total development of the child. Our goal is to provide developmentally
appropriate activities, which meet the social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of the individual child. Believing that children
lean through play, we plan our curriculum within a caring and creative environment. The curriculum is designed to enlarge the childs
repertoire of knowledge and skill, to increase self-confidence and to promote social skills. Weekly objectives cover the following
areas: social and emotional development, self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills, language development pre-reading and premath
skills, as well as other kindergarten readiness objectives. Children are encouraged to express themselves through creative art,
dramatic play, storytelling, singing, and other hands-on activities.
