Philosophy and Curriculum

Our goal is to respect and develop the individuality of each child.  We encompass the whole child - spiritually, academically, physically, and socially.  We assist each child in developing a positive self-image and increase his/her awareness of others and the world around him/her.

The teacher plans and provides the best atmosphere for the total growth and development of the students.  Our curriculum includes many opportunities for language, art, music, free play, social, physical, and spiritual development.  The lessons are based on weekly or monthly themes that include the basic academics, as well as other topics.
