Our Curricula
The academic programs, which start in September and end in June, include group activities that promote cognitive development and instruction on the core subjects of language arts and math concepts.
Throughout the year, additional topics are covered, including science, art, music, health, and social studies. Teachers lead separate classrooms divided by age group, and provide individualized adjustments based on the attainment of developmental goals and academic objectives.

Additional Curricula
Science
Science is the study of the world around us. Scientists learn about a subject by observing, describing and experimenting. There are many subjects and branches of science. Some study outer space like astronomy. Other sciences explore life (biology), the earth (geology), and even matter and energy (physics).
Art
Exposing kids to art early on not only gives them an appreciation for art, but encourages exploration, self expression, logical thinking, builds self-esteem, imagination and creativity. Early art experiences also teach kids to think openly, create new meaning, and be more tolerant of others.
Music
Music ignites the imagination, stimulating all areas of child development. Introducing music at an early age helps stimulate intellectual, social, emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy skills. Speech and music have a number of shared processing systems. Musical experiences help the perception of language and learning to read and process sounds.
Health
It's never too early to learn the benefits of maintaining a healthy mind and body!
Social Studies
Exploring their own neighborhoods and beyond! By engaging the kids in projects, games and exercises, they learn more about their community and the world around them.
Languages
Learning multiple languages offers proven benefits for intelligence, memory and concentration, and the best time to learn is when the child is young! Because languages are complex, speaking or learning a foreign language assists in improving other core subjects as well as improving native language skills.
Enrichment Activities
We have partnered with specialized instructors to offer an assortment of enrichment activities. For a modest fee, these optional classes introduce children to new concepts and skills that enhance their creativity and physical dexterity.
All activities take place after the day's academic program.
