Following a curriculum that supports New York State standards, various themes (seasons, holidays, plants, animals, colors and shapes, etc.) are presented throughout the year.  We incorporate many activities and skills within the theme framework:  pre-reading and math, science, social studies, art, songs, fingerplays, storytime and gross and fine motor skills.

We recognize and respect the individuality of all children by providing an atmosphere which encourages them to develop their own capabilities and talents.  Our program accommodates the various ways children learn and interact with others by providing time for free play, group activities, and working one-on-one with the teacher.  A variety of experiences are offered to children in order to encourage creativity, curiosity, awareness and understandings of the world around them.  We strive to build within each child a positive self image and awareness of basic Christian ideals.
