- We realize a quality early childhood program can greatly enhance the early, formative years. Experiences during these crucial years will last a lifetime.
- Each child's journey is filled with a series of Sensitive Periods. These creative moments are when children show a spontaneous interest in learning. A Sensitive Period is a limited time span in which a child demonstrates a strong attraction and ability to acquire a specific skill or to learn a particular aspect of his/her environment. The stage of attraction cannot be learned later with the same ease and depth that is provided by these periods of sensitivity. This is why it is crucial to give children as much vocabulary and exposure to various concepts as possible at the early stages of development.
