You will even have the opportunity to meet with your child's teacher throughout the year to monitor learning progress.
Social-Emotional Learning
We develop your child's social-emotional learning with lessons and play opportunities throughout the day. Our teachers work and plan with kindergarten teachers, so they know exactly what their students will need to be successful.
