The S.M.A.R.T. Curriculum is a multi-sensory approach to learning, designed to develop and enhance readiness skills students need to succeed in school. The curriculum consists of activities for developing and/or enhancing student's large and fine muscle skills, visual perception and eye-hand coordination, which are all necessary tools for learning to read and academic success.

Play is also a very important part of our busy day and it is how children learn in early childhood. Research shows play in an early learning classroom offers children a chance to increase skills such as problem solving, creative thinking, planning, organizing and language development. Play helps enhance development of cooperation, sharing, taking turns, and caring about others.

We have an amazing program filled with opportunities for children and families. In addition to our daily program, we also have several special events during the school year where we invite families to attend. Some of our special events include: Grandparent breakfast, Family Feast, Dads and Donuts and Moms and Muffins. In order to assure opportunities for all parents to be involved, we also host evening events. These events include a Hawaiian Luau and Popcorn and Pajama Event.
