Through interacting with
friends, children learn the give and take of social behavior in general.
They learn how to set up rules, how to weigh alternatives and make
decisions when faced with dilemmas.

Music and dance can take children with low confidence away from
their inner concerns and encourage them to express themselves in a
physical way.

Waiting until school to
begin
providing consistent intellectual stimulation to a child is no
disaster.
But in doing so, we miss a unique opportunity to enhance baby
brain
development.

Teachers pass on knowledge and values to children, prepare them for further education and for working life and are main contributors to good education

Fathers who actively participate in the lives of their children
enhance the chances of success in social skill, academic performance,
adult careers and employment goals.

80-90% of brain development occurs by the time a child turns four.

OUR VISION

"We envision a community where all children, regardless of the neighborhood in which they live,
are able to thrive developmentally and educationally allowing them to fully embrace their God given potential and become self sufficient adults."
