Play-Based Learning
Children learn best through first-hand experiences—play motivates, stimulates and supports children in their development of skills, concepts, language acquisition, communication skills, and concentration. During play, children use all of their senses, must convey their thoughts and emotions, explore their environment, and connect what they already know with new knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Nurturing Environment
Quality care is defined by daily routines and practices that nurture the development of each individual child and facilitate strong working relationships with families.
Age-Level Learning
Our programs are curated for three different age groups, each program offers the appropriate level of engagement for your child.
