Keys To Success

• Fun

  • After safety our next objective is fun! We keep things fun by inviting students to participate with great music and a colorful environment!

• Life Skills

  • Most of the activities involve some sort of movement or concept that children will be able to apply for the rest of their lives.

• Whole Child

  • We value physical, cognitive and social development. Small class sizes help us reach out to students in all areas.

• Integration of Academic Concepts

  • Physical education is an ideal time for using academic concepts such as shapes and colors, counting and letters and sounds to connect with physical activities.

• Combination of Structured and Guided Play

  • Kids want to “play”! Our program is a good mix of play and structure.

• Mastery

  • It’s PRE-school, meaning it comes BEFORE school. If they don’t get it, it’s no big deal.
