program in an environment of love and learning to the children of the greater

We are part of the Federal Food Program and serve breakfast, a hot lunch,
and snack each day emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains each day.

Goals:
To help each child develop a positive self-image and a sense of  
         independence and competence.
T o provide opportunities for creative and enriching experiences
 To boost our students’ communication, visual, auditory and
         motor skills
To encourage exploration, discovery, and excitement
To offer time for individual play
To be a child

Language development, numbers, science, music, arts and crafts, supervised play and an introduction to computers are high priority.  We participate in
the Children’s Literacy Program; align learning to the Pennsylvania Early
Learning Standards to achieve a smooth transition from preschool to
Kindergarten; and address developmental skills for early learning learners.  
Our children also enjoy several exciting field trips each year.

We are currently a
STAR 2 rating from the Keystone Stars Program.  
Keystone STARS is a continuous quality improvement initiative for early
learning programs.  Programs may earn a STAR 1 through STAR 4 rating
based on nationally recognized standards for staff education and
professional development, early learning environment, partnerships with
family and community, and leadership and management.
