For Kids Only creates a culture of personal excellence where each child pursues their interests, and skills, that support solving problems that they will face as they continue their adventures into the world at age 5. We welcome collaboration among children, teachers, and parents; the co-construction of knowledge; and the interdependence of individual and social learning. We offer a supportive curriculum that helps to offer developmentally appropriate programs that support play-based learning. Children are “active learners, explorers, experimenters and artists” and benefit from a diverse curriculum.
In our observation over the years, children who have too many things have a harder time playing peacefully & learning to share than children who have less. Less talking-more observing. Less clutter-more minimalistic. Less praise-more encouragement. Less intervening-more focus. Less interruption-more concentration. Less teacher initiated-more child initiated.
When you step inside, you’ll see a warm and spacious atmosphere that is designed to make education fun, provide students with an optimal environment for learning, and fill each day with opportunities for exploration and growth. To enrich the children’s experience, our school has a “prepared environment” of child sized furniture and material. This helps the children to feel relaxed and comfortable. You’ll notice that one of our top priorities is the safety, security, and cleanliness of our school.

By understanding a child’s unique skill level, we can adapt activities that challenge but not frustrate.
When exiting pre-k children are both ready to thrive and academically ready to learn in a kindergarten classroom.
The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.
