Child Care Learning Programs

Our curriculum plans for children’s development based on the skills that they are ready to learn as they develop at their own rate. We offer a variety of experiences which foster the overall growth and development which promote the success of each unique child. We customize our curriculum based on appropriate developmental goals for children and their learning needs, reflect the interests of the children, provide opportunity for children to learn social, cognitive, physical, creative, emotional, language and self-help skills.  We offer Reggio-inspired activities, in a co-learning multi-age setting where children are given the opportunity to actively explore the environment. Children are provided with a portfolio at the end of the term/year to commemorate their successes.
