Mathematics
Builds a foundation for later mathematical competence, including concepts of number, basic computation, geometry, and measurement.
Science and Social Studies
Addresses content-area standards with a steady exposure to rich science and social studies content in the context of language and literacy activities and engaging, hands-on exploration.
The Arts
Promotes children's sense of competence, curiosity, and creativity through creative exploration, discovery, and imaginative play. Involves children actively in art, music, literature, movement, and more.
Physical Development
Builds large motor skills through free outdoor play and movement activities.
Fosters fine motor skills through hands-on activities across the content areas.
