Education

Education services are provided through daily classroom experiences that are intentionally planned to develop skills that are important for success in kindergarten. Children learn best through active learning experiences that have a purpose and are meaningful to them. Teachers make observations daily to plan for and guide children based on their individual needs.

Classrooms are arranged to offer multiple opportunities for children to explore, discover, and grow. The classroom is set up in learning areas. The daily schedule and routines are established to structure the day. The goal is to create a classroom community where children learn how to get along with others, solve problems peacefully and learn the academic skills they need to be successful in school.

The interest areas in the classrooms include:

  • Art

  • Blocks

  • Computers

  • Dramatic Play

  • Library

  • Manipulatives

  • Music and Movement

  • Science and Discovery

  • Outdoor Environment

  • Sand and Water
