I see the world”…your child is now understanding he is part of an amazing world and is learning what his role in it is. Our Primary program is designed to support him during this journey. Our classrooms are rich in choices, experiences, and opportunities for self-discovery.
In our environments children are free to learn and absorb effortlessly.

Hands-on language materials lead children naturally through the process of learning to read. Concrete math materials guide children to understand and master abstract concepts.
