Children enter the program at different stages of readiness and continue their development throughout the year. The open-ended program offers challenges to all children. Students work toward individual responsibility, independence, self-confidence and self-esteem and the ability to work within, and interact with, the group. Our curriculum is flexible and promotes and stimulates the development of each child's full potential for his or her current stage and maturity.
