Play is a child’s way of learning.  In this way children explore the world around them, begin to work cooperatively with others, and relive experiences that have made an impact on them.

Play and discovery lead to academic awareness.  Early childhood is the time to introduce basic concepts in science, math, reading/language arts, and social studies.  Through manipulative devices, group settings, music, art activities and other varied experiences, we can give the child a first-hand experience with these basic concepts.

Let us then allow the child to be a child.  This time of life is rich and meaningful within itself.  As parents and teachers, we have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buildup each child’s self-esteem and lay foundations for a healthy emotional life.  Let us work together to set each child on a path toward a satisfying life.
