With any concern met a child is able to take advantage of our safe nurturing engaging and enjoyable learning environment. The varied experiences provided by the program supports the physical social emotional and cognitive development of each child. They are able to gain the awareness skills and confidence necessary to succeed in their present environment and to deal with later responsibilities in school and in life.
