Our Program
A highly trained staff implements a full curriculum that includes art, activities, music and movement, storytelling, children’s literature, dramatic play, food and nutrition, as well as readiness skills that include language and numerical concepts. The adult to child ratio is 1 to 7. Parents also play an active role at the School, and integrated counseling and support services are made available to all families. The School is open from 7:30AM – 5:30PM, Monday through Friday, 52 weeks a year.
The School is comprised of children who come from countries all over the world including Vietnam, Egypt, Albania, Lebanon, Israel, Spain and the Americas. We embrace each child's culture by celebrating the major holidays of their country and by reading books and watching videos about their country. In addition we have an annual multi-cultural dinner where all the children and their parents prepare a local delicacy and come dressed in their traditional native clothing. This emphasis on ethnic traditions teaches children to feel good about themselves and to respect people who come form different places.
We also learn about our local community. Parents of children come in for a day to help out and to talk to the children about their job. We take field trips to local farms, police and fire departments, bakeries, banks, pizzerias and local restaurants to learn about how the community works together. We also take trips to local nursing homes where the children read and sing to elders. This teaches the children to respect the elderly and to learn how to care for them, as well as bring joy to the residents.
