No single area of development is stressed above another. We believe in fostering growth of the whole child emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually. To help children develop into self-confident, caring, competent individuals; our program is play oriented. We believe "play is a child's work." Through play, children acquire the foundations for reading, writing and logical thinking. Learning through play is the preparation children need before they can understand how to use abstract symbols such as letters and numbers. Before children can understand the concept of "soft and hard" they need to experience "soft" and "hard" by working with play dough or building blocks. Before they can hold a pencil or control it to make a letter on paper, they need to have developed their small muscle skills through cutting, pasting, pouring, stringing beads, kneading dough and drawing. Likewise, to understand why 1 + 3 = 4, a child needs to first have concrete experiences of counting objects, sorting them into piles, adding some and removing some. In this way, they acquire the foundation for logical thinking to later do math.
