Programs
Full Day Preschool & Pre-K
*Ages 3-5
*Year round program
Parents have access to child's on-line portfolio. Classrooms are setup to cultivate a child's desire to learn. This educational process builds confidence and develops self discipline.
Special classroom materials are used so the child can work independently and "learn by doing". Children are encouraged to exercise the freedom to pursue their individual needs, and to set a natural rate of progress by doing work of their choice.
The teacher develops a challenging and aesthetically appealing environment that attracts the child to work, and offers a variety of lessons for the individual, small, and large groups.
Children in our classrooms learn through example and guidance to behave in an orderly manner with respect for others rights.
Before/after school care
*K-1 at Bayshore Elementary
We offer before and after care to students in Kindergarten and 1st grade to students at Bayshore Elementary. The children arrive at our center between 7:00 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. A teacher accompanies them on the short walk to and from school.
WAIT LIST
Your child can be on a wait list for any of our programs. If we have an opening, we will call you. Students on the wait list will be offered a chance to enroll for open positions on a space available basis starting before registration is open to the general public. Call for more info.
