Our program focuses as much as possible towards the needs of each child and each specific group. Unforeseen events and needs and/or interest of the children may alter this schedule. Colors, shapes, numbers, letters, nursery rhymes, vocabulary, and other age appropriate concepts will be used throughout the year. Only AM & PM classes take fieldtrips. We’ll try to alternate having a visitor with trips away from the school.
