A Day in the Life
So, what does a typical day look like here? First off, keep in mind that student safety is priority #1: we make sure our front door is always locked, and each person entering the building must have clearance to be there. You will use a code to check your child in/out and open the front door with a fingerprint.
PALS features a curriculum that helps children develop spatial awareness, logic and reason, and gross motor skills. Here’s a look at what your child will be immersed in:
- Child-directed activity centers, stories and songs, group games, art projects, and creative playtime.
- Foundational cognitive reasoning that teaches and enhances language arts, arithmetic, social skills, and understanding of the surrounding world.
- Rest periods, nutritious meals, and nonstop adult supervision.
