Our Programs
Our Teaching Style/Curriculum
​
We believe in Creativity and using music and art as a teaching tool. We use an unstructured learning environment for Early Childhood Education, as the primary structure of the learning environment. However, we also recognize the need to teach structure, especially to children preparing for Grade School. The philosophies of Maria Montessori, Reggio Emilia, B.F Skinner, Lev Vygotsky have inspired our teaching style and curriculum, as well as, personal experience with children and the 21st-century skills.
Early Childhood Education
For our in-home and virtual Early Childhood Education classes, we offer a free trial class. We offer a free trial class in order to get to know the child and to get a better understanding of the child's abilities. Every child learns at their own pace and takes an interest in different things. We create individualized lesson plans based on their needs and interests. We are also open to parent's input as to what skills they would like us to work on!
We also offer virtual and in-person tutoring for children in K-3rd grade and classes to help improve their academic skills.
​
Our Family Childcare center is located in Pennsauken, NJ. Our center offers full-time and part-time childcare and early learning for children 6 weeks to 3 years old. Unlike large-scale childcare centers, our family childcare center will have no more than 5 children at a time. This is also a mixed age class so children learn from each other and the small group allows for individualized lesson plans.
