In keeping with our motto "growth through caring", we intend to provide each child with the opportunity of a structured environment that encourages learning and social interaction. In our pre-school and Kindergarten curriculum, we teach children math skills, reading, language skills, logical analysis, motor skills and sequential thinking along with activities that improve eye hand coordination. We conduct regular assessments and work on areas of improvement of the pre-school child for their success and growth.
We follow many of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) pioneers teachings and philosophies. The children are allowed to explore for themselves and are assisted when in need of help.
Children are encouraged to develop all their skills based on the recommended ECE age groups and are monitored for development. Once the child has shown that they are ready for the next developmental stage, the teacher recommends to the parents and the change of the classroom is initiated. We at Kidsville, U.S.A., are firm believers of parental participation in their child's development and provide regular updates on their child's growth and progress.
Following are some of the methods we use as guidelines;

Object use, including exploration, functional use, and problem solving
