Learning another language allows little learners to accelerate their cognitive development, become accustomed to and enhance their ability to learn additional languages, and gain exposure to different cultures, which also develops a predisposition toward multicultural sensitivity. 

​

Learning ASL improves young learners' communication skills and attention to detail by considering nonverbal communication indicators. ASL promotes cognitive development, and offers children an alternative way to express themselves at a young age.

Early literacy helps little learners build a strong vocabulary, use correct grammar, and experience more success with spelling. Children who read regularly also gain in-depth knowledge about emotions as books showcase multiple perspectives, allowing children to become more empathetic. Furthermore, early literacy can spark curiosity and further develop students' ability to concentrate. 

Yoga is a fantastic way to help young learners develop physical strength and flexibility, improve focus and concentration, and promote a sense of calm and relaxation. Additionally, yoga can help little learners listen to their bodies, while developing self-awareness and self-regulation. Yoga is also a fun and engaging way for preschoolers to learn about movement, balance, and coordination.

Math and science labs for little learners can provide a valuable educational experience for young learners. Hands-on learning opportunities allow preschoolers to explore and discover math and science concepts in a fun and engaging way. Through experimenting and problem-solving, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Early exposure to math and science can also set a solid foundation for future learning in these subjects and help children develop an interest and curiosity in the world around them.

Formal potty training at an early age can help children develop independence, self-confidence and self-care skills. Potty training also requires practice and constant reinforcement. Our little learners gain access to an individualized potty chart, a potty watch, relevant ASL vocabulary, potty-related story time, and a community of other little learners who are learning with them. 

​While Bring Your Own Deliciousness Lunch Hour is a time for students to socialize over yummy meals, it is also a way to discuss and learn about different cultures and cuisines, which develops multicultural tolerance. Please let us know if your little learner has any food allergies or dietary restrictions. Aside from dietary restrictions and the expectation for students to have a healthy lunch, parents maintain control over the ingredients and quality of the food. We will provide a nutritious snack that adheres to the dietary restrictions of the whole group.
