Our standards-based Fast Track Curriculum® for preschoolers is divided into short, theme-based units. This age group also has opportunities to excel using hands-on experiences and critical thinking skills with our Brain Waves® Curriculum and STEAM Ahead® Curriculum, where activities used alongside our core curriculum support language, social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development during these crucial years of learning. STEAM is often used in conjunction with our core curriculum to include meaningful work in the subject areas of science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
Our Prekindergarten Childcare Program is available at some of our schools to children beginning at 4 years old and prepares your child for the first steps into kindergarten. Literacy and writing skills, among many other subjects, are covered in our exclusive core curriculum. Each student has opportunities to learn using hands-on experiences and critical thinking skills with our innovative STEAM Ahead® and Brain Waves® curricula.
Our Before and After School Programs is ideal for busy families in our community and is available to children from Kindergarten through 5th grade. The programs include age-appropriate, supervised activities and child-directed play from our G.Y.M. Curriculum® for school agers.

Our Summer Camp Program offers engaging, age-appropriate activities centered around an educational theme. Our past summer camp programs have been supercharged with elements of STEAM, history, literature, robotics, world geography and – of course – loads of FUN.
