We feel that personal experiences and studies have proven how critical good experiences are in a child’s education. We are dedicated to giving our very best effort to ensure that your child benefits from the discoveries of new friends, abilities, strengths, and confidences. Along the way, we will help them pick up many skills that will prepare them for a successful experience in kindergarten. We promise to introduce your child to many new ideas and experiences through art, science, music, and books. We DO NOT promise to keep their clothes in pristine shape—but will most likely have given them a great experience to explain that stain! A recent article in the Shelbyville news said this: “Over the years, we have seen great success in our children in school because of the help they get before they head off to kindergarten. Studied have shown this, and we have anecdotal evidence from elementary school teachers. These programs work. We hold that if we reach children with quality education programs before they enter school, they will turn out to be much better prepared to be educated.” We believe this to be 100% accurate and are thrilled that you have chosen to give us the privilege of learning and growing with your child. We are looking to an exciting year with each student!
