The next level of the journey helps children master the necessary skills for kindergarten success. A center-based early childhood education environment encourages learning that is social, interactive—and fun! This is where children make advancements in:

  • Problem-solving
  • Implementing language in learning
  • Collaborative social skills

 

By integrating these elements into our curriculum, we aim to equip children with the necessary competencies for a successful transition into kindergarten, ensuring they are well-prepared for the academic and social challenges ahead.
