Early Education consists of students from 18 months (EE2) through 1st grade. The curriculum is designed to meet each child's developmental needs by offering a stimulating hands-on approach to learning. This encourages appropriate development for emotional stability, social competency, intellectual ability, and spiritual awareness and maturity.
