We will encourage each child to develop individual readiness in areas such as cognitive, social, physical, and language. We will help each child to create a positive and confident self-image. We will offer experiences in:
Manipulative Play * Imaginative Dramatic Play * as well as reading, singing dancing and math.

* Imaginative Dramatic Play defines play in its position statement as a “dynamic, active and constructive behavior” that is “essential for all children.” Fun matters. It’s what gets children engaged, curious, and coming back for more
