Combine a gifted group of dedicated teachers (average teacher ratio 6/1) with state of the art learning equipment and a custom designed environment and the result is … Children who have Fun Learning and Want to Go To School! Our child-centered program stresses individual attention with a flexible approach that includes lots of the one-on-one nurturing support which has become our trademark. Our program during the regular school year is designed for children from 2 1/2 to 6 years old, and includes both full and half day kindergarten. Our innovative curriculum has received attention from the Children’s Television Workshop (makers of Sesame Street), AT&T, and the Fair Haven School Board.

Monthly Adventure Themes

Our team of teachers is headed by Maureen Vaughan who has a degree in education from the University of London. Her

kids learn about space

30 years of experience working with young children has given her a unique insight into what makes learning fun … reflected in our custom designed Leapfrog “Adventure Themes.” Each month all our activities are woven around a central theme designed to keep children excited about what they do here (past themes have included the Jungle, Kids in Space, Life Under the Sea, Pirates, the Circus, Dinosaurs, Toys, Super-Heroes, etc). We strive to create an environment where socialization skills are blended with activities that build self-esteem and create a positive attitude towards the school experience.

Strong Academic Program

Our youngest children learn through structured play using equipment which reinforces academic themes. Our curriculum is characterized by extensive use of manipulatives so lessons are always made interactive. Older children have our “Adventure Themes” augmented with the following text based programs:

Kindergarten * The Oxford Reading Tree, The Saxon Math Program & Saxon Phonics (1st grade texts).

Pre-K * Land of the Letter People, The Saxon Math Program & Saxon Phonics (Kindergarten texts).

(for text details see www.oup.co.uk , www.saxonpub.com , and www.theletterpeople.com).

Our graduates have an outstanding record in local primary schools.
