- We will be teaching from the Abeka Book Program with our 2,3,4, and 5 year olds along with other resources.
- Playball offers age appropriate, structured sports and movement programs for children. The program consist of 6 stages, progressing from fundamental ball and motor development for younger students to proficient sports participation in our older classes. Playball uses non-competitive sports to teach life skills and build self-confidence in children.
The programs of the school will be based on the philosophy of having a child development program: The physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual aspects of a child's life and all aspects to be nurtured as a whole. Emphasis will be placed on the total being of the child to help him/her to develop good self-image. They will learn through being active, through having close personal interaction with his or her peers as well as adults, and through play by being in an environment set up for learning. Emphasis will be placed on meaningful experiences, which will touch on the child's personal life.
