We feel every child should feel supported, nurtured, and loved. You can trust our staff to that end, as they are fully certified in early childhood education techniques. Each one has passed rigorous background checks to ensure they are qualified to work with your children.
At PALS, we only hire teachers who uphold the highest standards, asking all co-teachers to meet the same qualifications. Our selectivity helps to foster teachers’ self-development and growth. Our fully licensed early childhood education instructors are chosen for their passion for inspiring children while nurturing their needs.
Our Early Education Program
Our signature preschool program,featuring fun activities that build self-esteem and moral character, teaches life skills and values. This is meant to prepare each student to think, reason, produce, be responsible, achieve, excel, communicate, and be happy.We want to challenge their minds, but we also work hard to make sure each day is fun. In our many years of experience, we have found that children learn without knowing they are learning. In fact, they learn best through excitement and engagement.
Our Compassionate Developmental Education
We have both group-run and individual-run learning activities that inspire your child to love learning and care for those around them:
- We start the day with social greetings and guided group activities.
- Later, each child is given a job they’re responsible for, from helping the teacher set up activities to sprinkling kindness.
- We then move onto counting games and activities to develop foundational math skills and knowledge about the natural world.
- After creative playtime, your childwill participate in activities that reinforce social skills, group lessons that implement virtues, and journaling to develop reading and writing skills.
