Continued focus on the 4 developmental areas

Your child will be engaged with learning activities that encourage development in social, emotional, physical, and intellectual areas. Your tike’s social skills will grow through group play and interaction with peers and adults.


There are plenty of opportunities to grow emotionally with experiences that enhance feelings of self-worth and achievement. We’ll maintain open communication with you so you always know how your son or daughter is developing.
