Our Daily Program
Social and academic development is the emphasis of our daily program. Teachers lead the children in simple arts and crafts and self help activities to build small motor skills.
-
Cooking, caring for animals and plants and block building provide the opportunity to explore scientific and mathematical concepts.
-
Literacy skills are honed within the daily Reading Circle.
-
Music and movement contributes to their overall development.
Children are able to achieve at their own pace and consequently develop a strong base of self esteem. All activities resound with the joyful sounds that learning children need to create.
