We highlight the importance of achieving physical and emotional independence, potty training and building the necessary foundation for learning.
We begin to develop early social, pre-writing and pre-math skills. At this stage, children learn by exploring the world around them.

We focus on reading, writing, math, science, computers, and social studies. We also accentuate the importance of social responsibility.
