Our intention is to fill children with a love of learning, encouraging curiosity and nurturing self confidence. Curriculum themes are adapted to age levels and subject to change depending upon children's interests and events during the year. This is a plan through which we will learn facts, concepts and skills.

Social Skills

Social skills are very important to young children and will be nurtured. They include making friends, learning to share, respect (for ourselves, others and our things), feeling capable of accomplishing tasks independently, problem solving, joining groups and participation - and most of all - belonging.
