Children enrolled in the preschool program attend morning or afternoon sessions, Monday through Friday. Many sites also offer full day child care programs for parents working or going to school. Children have the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational, creative and fun activities each day. An active partnership among parents, teachers and children will help us strive toward these desired results:<\/p>\n

Children are personally & socially competent<\/strong>
\nChildren are effective learners<\/strong>
\nChildren show physical & motor competencies<\/strong>
\nChildren are safe and healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Staff are carefully selected based upon education, credentials, experience and dedication to the principles of early childhood education. The teaching staff strive to meet the unique needs of the children and families in their classrooms. Staff routinely attend training, to increase their skills and knowledge in early childhood development and provide young children a safe enriching learning environment.<\/p>\n
