Childhood Enrichment
By fostering your child ’ s growth , our unique programs turn everyday experiences and interactions into powerful opportunities of learning . Our curriculum provide various experiences that include combinations of sensory , cognitive and motor skill development . Our enrichment classes extend on children ’ s curiosities , as well as help to develop social and emotional skills as they interact with peers and teachers .
Children will have opportunities to :
• Make discoveries and learn
• Use their senses
• Express themselves creatively and use language in its many forms
• Make friends and learn about the social world
• Problem-solve and find solutions to what puzzles them
