Early Numeracy

Understanding numbers and basic math concepts at an early age sets the stage for more advanced math in later grades. Our program includes:

• Number Recognition: Identifying and understanding numbers.

• Counting Skills: Learning to count forwards, backwards, and by groups.

• Basic Math Operations: Introducing simple addition, subtraction, and concepts like "more" and "less."

Building Blocks for Success

In the early stages, it's important to foster logical thinking and problem-solving skills that will be essential throughout a child’s education. We do this through:
