While school readiness encompasses early literacy and math skills, it also includes essential skills such as how to wait in line, how to be a good friend, how to ask for help, how to make mistakes and learn from them, and how to be self-confident and love learning. We believe that preparing children for school is not just about the curriculum; it’s about creating a safe environment with heart, with teachers that nurture, cherish and motivate-a place where thriving is not just about reaching benchmarks of performance or fitting into a box, but about reaching the potential within and approaching the future with confidence and a love of learning.
