July is Ocean Commotion month!
Take your kids to the beach and look for shells and talk about the animals who live in water!
We are proud to announce our new curriculum called "Lil' Building Blocks." This is a literacy-based program which focuses on our philosophy that we nurture and "build" the whole child. Curriculum activities are planned with emphasis on all areas of development: social, emotional, physical, cognitive and language, which all are the basis of literacy.
We know the importance of literacy experiences at a very young age to foster reading, writing and speaking skills in the future. In fact, we feel that an environment rich with reading, singing and conversation needs to begin as early as in our infant rooms.
Children of all ages will be surrounded with opportunities to read, write, hear and see the written word and communicate as much as possible. We also
introduce Spanish and Sign Languages to all ages to strengthen
their communication skills.
