OUR PROGRAM

Picture
Children will learn responsibilities and personal hygiene by learning to... Put their own toys away, washing their hands after playing and eating, clearing the table of utensils, dishes and cups, and getting/putting away bedding for nap time, just to mention a few steps towards learning personal responsibility. Encouraging older children to help younger children with play and crafts promotes kindness and responsibility towards others. Periodically, we will have classes with special emphasis on different cultures or special topics: Chinese New Years, Cinco de Mayo, animal related topics, science projects and so forth.


We take children from 3 months to 10 years of age.Certified in First Aid and children's CPR, fully licensed
