Our staff works hard to make sure your child has a fun, safe environment to play and learn in while you are at work. We have lots of toys, games, music, books, video games, art activities, homework help and a large outdoor area for exercise, games and free play.
Our Pre-School program is taught by Lee Ann Perry and Angie Arnold. They have a lot of experience and training in Early Childhood Education and does a fantastic job in the classroom. They are also certified in CPR, AED and First Aid, along with other DHS approved training each year. Their goal is to see kids learn to their highest potential before they leave the classroom. Parent involvement is also important. Having parents participate in classroom parties or special events means a lot. Also, being able to talk with you if your child is having behavior issues or other issues where they may need your help as a parent. They teach a Pre-Kindergarten Readiness Curriculum that will prepare your child for kindergarten.
We work very close with our Knox. Co. & Seymour Schools as to what they require their students to know when they enter Kindergarten and that is incorporated in our curriculum.

We provide a daily schedule of activities to make sure your child has the opportunity to explore different things and participate in activities they like to do. While we play, we also try to incorporate making good choices, respecting one another, good self-esteem, good manners, etc...
