The Kids at Heart preschool curriculum is designed to encourage active learning. We believe children learn by manipulating objects in their environment. During the day, your child will discover many activities that allow him/her to learn about the world. Drama, science, math, art, reading readiness, computer, fine and gross motor skills are all integral components to our active learning centers. Weekly plans focusing on a general theme will be posted in the classroom. As a parent, you can review these plans and use the information to discuss the day with your child.
Please make sure the Director thoroughly covers these points with you.....
• Staff - Child ratio of 1:10(2 ½ -4 yrs old)
