Kind Child

Kind Child is a program that allows us to focus on the social and emotional development of each child in our care. We encourage our preschool students to adopt valuable character traits such as a Responsibility, Respect, and Empathy and continually work on social-emotional skills as a regular part of our Ascend Curriculum. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of our students, we also strengthen our school!

Our Educational Philosophy

We believe in making the most of your child’s first educational experiences. Our school has wonderful education programs that are connected through our skill-based Ascend Curriculum. Important skills are taught at every age level and fine-tuned just before kindergarten in Kindergarten Club.

Our curriculum is flexible and we encourage our teachers to tailor activities to the interests and current skill level of each child so that these educational experiences are engaging, challenging, and fun! Our goal is to recognize where each child is on a particular skill and then take them to the next step without comparing them to other students. Activities can be modified to provide more challenge or more support and we celebrate the achievement of important milestones at every age.
