Our Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum is used as the foundation of our preschool program. The Creative Curriculum is a play-based learning curriculum that focuses on interest areas and fosters creativity in both children and teachers. Being creative means thinking of new ideas, obtaining information by asking questions, and learning through trial and error. For your child to derive the greatest benefit from educational opportunities, he/she must be in regular attendance and our acceptance cutoff time for accepting students is at 9:00a.m.
