Our Approach to Early Childhood Education
We understand that each child learns differently and at their own pace. Our curriculum is designed to foster a love for discovery and exploration, while providing a personalized learning journey for every child. We utilize a variety of engaging activities to stimulate curiosity, including:
- Rising Scholars: Nurturing curiosity and encouraging exploration through play-based learning and sensory experiences for infants and toddlers.
- Growing Scholars: Developing pre-skills through singing, dramatic play, art, and creative exploration for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Accelerated Scholars: Engaging in hands-on science projects, cooking activities, and art experiments to foster a love for learning and developing essential skills like math, science, and reading readiness.
