My 5 year old has attended since he was 3 and this is the only district that accepts 3 year olds in the midlands that I am aware of. He has enjoyed it and I'm sure he will miss it as he will be attending Sandhills next year. He has begun to learn how to read and knows all of his ABC's and can count to 100 and higher by tens.He has also learned basic addition. The curricular/teaching process is Montessori and all learning is a hands on approach with lessons updated weekly/monthly depending on how quickly they learn. I also love the PALS meetings that they offer each month that provide learning for parents and activities with your children.
