About Our Programs
We provide a nurturing and stimulating program designed to enhance children's emotional, intellectual, social, and physical development.
Children are encouraged to form friendships, express feelings, identify interests, seek new experiences, play imaginatively, and exercise autonomy.
This helps them to acquire the skills necessary for satisfying relationships and successful learning experiences.
The Nursery School offers two different programs to help accomplish these goals, the 3- and 5-Day Program and the Parent-Toddler Program.
