Curriculum
​"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Nelson Mandela

Our curriculum is very simple. We believe that children learn through play, therefore we make learning fun.
Given an opportunity to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities the learner will develop in Fine Motor Development, Auditory Processing, Visual Discrimination, Letter and Word Awareness, Phonemic Awareness, Math and Number Awareness, Social and Emotional Development and Gross Motor Development. These eight key developmental areas play a critical role in a child’s success in preschool, kindergarten, and beyond. Our curriculum stimulates these areas through teaching:
