In this program, children will learn and play in our one-of-a-kind space while building skills that prepare them for formal learning settings. We offer sensory and art-based activities to help develop your little one’s fine motor skills and confidence. We also use Kindergarten School Readiness checklists and hands-on learning to help your child build skills like sharing, taking turns, and respecting the rights of others. By encouraging children to explore, imagine, and create, they in turn enhance and develop their critical thinking skills, creativity, and ability to express themselves!
