Our Nursery program consists of age appropriate activities with a focus on co-operative and imaginative play. In addition to a play curriculum there are structured group times that focus on the child’s academic skills, (language arts, math, science, listening, direction following, and attention span.)

Our Kindergarten program is academically orientated. Offered only in an all day format, the children receive all math and reading readiness development in the morning, with science and social studies sessions scheduled in the afternoon. The children receive Spanish and free play sessions daily. They also visit the school library once a week and are able to borrow books which instills a love of reading and learning and helps them build a sense of responsibility.
In addition to art activities done in the classroom, all students visit the art room in small groups, once a week to receive specialized art instruction. The students are exposed to the works of famous artists through different techniques, while creatively exploring with a multitude of varying media.
