How learning happens

HOW IS THE LEARNING HAPPENING

Our unique program connects parents to learning and takes school beyond the classroom.

We want parents and grandparents to be as involved and engaged in their child’s preschool experience as possible, so we’ve designed a whole program to do just that.
