4-5 YEAR OLDS

Our 4/5-year-old program is a combined group of 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds with a maximum capacity of 15 students. Our curriculum topics are consistent throughout the center, however, altered to meet the developmental and physical needs of each age group. Our 4/5-year-old students stay busy learning through age-appropriate group times, art and skills projects, and guided play to encourage healthy physical, mental and social development.
