in a multi-sensory integrated approach to education that is evidence-based and child-focused. This exposes children daily to literacy practices, hands on science and math, stimulating art, music, and physical education. Our approach is to intentionally guide and extend your child's play to ensure key developmental milestones are achieved across the learning domains.

 

Both direct instruction and play have roles to play in high-quality early childhood education. Children develop and learn principally through play and reinforce the necessary academic skills through direct teacher instruction. Critically, teachers who pay attention to children’s interests and help them to play is paramount. We want children to be both knowledgeable about facts and details as well as creative and good problem solvers. We believe exploration and play during preschool turns children into adults who are flexible and sophisticated thinkers.
