Our warm and accepting teaching style helps each child feel secure and comfortable. At Early World Children’s School each child will have many opportunities to succeed emotionally, socially, physically and academically. Our program encourages discovery, exploration, creative learning and problem solving skills.
We want each child to grow in their ability to recognize feelings and to express emotions. Our program builds on the child’s natural sense of wonder as they experience the excitement of creating a picture, building a Lego tower, or the thrill of writing their name for the first time.

- to encourage independence and responsibility for self.
