  • What do you teach?

    Our teachers design their classes around set curriculum, to ensure that our students receive the maximum benefit from our programs.

  • Will my child be ready for kindergarten? 

    As part of our curriculum, student in the pre-kindergarten class are taught the skills they will need to succeed in kindergarten the following year. These skills are accomplished in the form of continuous learning, step-by-step, year by year as each child develops. When our students reach kindergarten age, they will have a foundation of learned accomplishments to make them feel ready and eager for the challenges of the kindergarten classroom.
