Academics
Infants - The school’s infants and toddler program aims to completely meet the children’s physical needs and provide ample opportunities for exploration and social interaction. Daily activities included movement to song, naming objects, push-and-pull toys, blocks, coloring, painting, puzzles, pegs and peg boards. Many activities are aimed to stimulate the senses—eyes, ears, fingers, taste, and smell. and to provide opportunity for the development of large and small muscles.
The toddler program provides a warm and accepting environment in which children can work and play. It establishes respect for the environment, the equipment and materials and promotes and instills a sense of caring and sensitivity towards others.
Kindergarten and First Grade - The school offers a joint-kindergarten and first grade program with focus on language arts and character training.
