Our mission is to nurture the whole child through a healthy balance of learning and fun for children from infancy through five years old. We are proud to provide a safe, loving and nurturing environment where children and families feel welcome and comfortable. Our staff follows a sequential skills developmental program, providing a solid foundation for children to learn and grow both now and later in life. In everything, we seek to partner with parents and guardians for the education and development of every child.
Our play-based, developmental approach encourages children to explore the world around them and begin to socialize with other children. Each day provides opportunities to learn about reading, writing and math through real, meaningful situations. Children are encouraged to use appropriate manipulatives that are geared toward intellectual development. Encouraging imagination and creativity are vital to a child’s development so that they can become lifelong learners. At all times, inter-personal skills are a focus, helping the children develop in the world around them.
We also utilize a nationally recognized curriculum, Zoophonics. Zoophonics is a Multisensory Language Arts Program that uses a "kinesthetic, multi-modal approach to learning all aspects of language arts, including vocabulary development and articulation, based on phonics and phonemic awareness.”
Beginning at 18 months of age our children are introduced to phonics utilizing the Zoophonics Program. Children receive comprehensive instruction throughout the curriculum utilizing Zoophonics for 18 month-olds through five-year-olds. Zoophonics is recognized by educators, in the United States, as being a preeminent early childhood education program.
