We achieve this through activities that model appropriate behaviors, reinforce good behavior, and teach empathy, ensuring children are emotionally and socially prepared for the future.
We focus on building a strong foundation in literacy and mathematics. Our curriculum includes activities designed to enhance reading, writing, and basic math skills.

Financial
Literacy
Our program teaches essential money skills through songs, videos, and interactive lessons. Children learn to recognize coins and dollar amounts, practice making transactions, calculate change, and understand balance due. Using real-life role play with an ATM machine and lifelike money and coins, students explore real-world financial scenarios in a fun, hands-on way. The program also introduces the concepts of needs vs. wants and encourages early habits of financial responsibility, helping young learners build a strong foundation for smart money choices.
Spanish
Curriculum
Through songs, stories, lessons and hands-on activities, children learn basic vocabulary such as colors, numbers, greetings, family, and common objects. The program focuses on building listening and speaking skills in a natural, playful way that encourages curiosity and confidence. By learning a second language early, children strengthen cognitive development and cultural awareness while having fun exploring the world of Spanish.
Cultural
Awareness
Our program introduces children to diverse cultures and promotes inclusivity. We explore different traditions, languages, and global perspectives, helping children develop a broader understanding of the world and respect for cultural differences. This cultural awareness prepares children to thrive in a diverse society.
American
Sign
Language
We introduce preschoolers to American Sign Language (ASL) as a fun and enriching part of their daily learning. Through songs, stories, and interactive activities, children begin learning basic signs like colors, emotions, animals, and everyday phrases. ASL supports early language development, encourages inclusive communication, and helps young learners express themselves in new and meaningful ways.
