The Ins And Outs of How We Do Business
Combination sections of Reggio, Montessori and imagination with Loose Parts works for different Educators to help your children learn and explore with the flexibility to enhance the children's individual needs. Reggio is learning through play, Montessori is learning through colors, A B C's and 1 2 3's, Loose Parts is learning how to use motor skills, thinking out of the box and strengthen the mechanically inclined.
Our future goals is to have certain Day Centers with 24/7 flexible hours to accommodate weekend and shift workers for the communities. We will have out door libraries to promote children to keep them excited for story time at home with their families and surrounding communities.

We ask that you prepare a healthy snack as 9:00am is our first snack time. The second week will be the start to full days, if the transition is still hard for the child, the third week will be full time. We are here for the child's needs to feel safe and comfortable.
