Working with Families

We work with families to promote physical growth and development by providing parents with information about health screenings, and immunizations, and results of constant physical assessments while implementing a program of toddler stimulation; or for the Preschoolers, mental and physical preparation for Kindergarten. Excepts from positive parenting concepts together with input from our parents, make our program very rich. "You can do it. I will show you how. " is our message to the child.

Play Time

"May I play my basketball now?" some kid would ask. For even though all activities with our kids take place in a fun atmosphere, for very good reasons, most kids have a need to run around. To accommodate this need, are various types of balls and bikes looking for kid play mates. There is the jungle gym and all kinds of play toys for those kids who want to pace a little slower.

Learning through Entertainment

Video is used sparingly as a tool for teaching and entertainment. In the morning, our kids get to watch a 30 minute educational program. They get to vote for what they want to watch, on video or computer.. And they may bring their own favorite video to share. Sing along "Mommy And Me" children's music play for about two hours each day. Our children dance and exercise to Jamboree music.
