• Focus is on language and early literacy skills, including phonological awareness and alphabet knowledge; and early math concepts, including number sense, pattern recognition, and sorting.
   
• Social and emotional independence, fostered through direct teaching and cooperative play.

Parent Observation

Parents/guardians are invited to participate in a monthly play-based observation, which includes a 30-40 minute observation of your child’s play, social and language skills, and classroom readiness.
