Approach
Researchers have been confirming for years that children do their most important learning before they reach the age of five. Therefore, everything we do at Diana’s Playpen of Little Genius’s Incorporated, including providing children with lots of love and attention, involves early childhood development.
We begin with an age-appropriate environment that encourages children to learn, play and explore with books and blocks, toys and musical instruments. You name it, we build children’s math skills through devices such as counting with sticks; they explore agricultural through planting seeds in a garden. If you’re a young child, you’ll find an endless assortment of activities that’ll engage your interest and stimulate your mind. Most importantly, at the heart of early project and activity, there’s a highly-trained teacher along with an age appropriate curriculum to guide a child along a successful learning path. Since children learn differently than adults, they require constant hands on experience with attentive and affectionate teachers. More importantly, they necessitate enthusiasm, encouragement and the challenge of becoming self-motivated about learning. At Diana’s Playpen of Little Geniuses it is our mission to help children learn and grow.
Our guiding principle is to help your child master the skills necessary to succeed in school and in life. We believe in building a child’s strong sense of play, whether you are looking for a nurturing start for your infant or toddler, a preschool or kindergarten, or an engaging after school experience, you’ll find a well-rounded program at Diana’s Playpen of Little Geniuses.
Our Preschool Program is at the heart of our early childhood program. It has a step-by-step curriculum, where we build toward and expand from a strong academic foundation, with age-specific classrooms.
Each program fosters whole-child development, helping your child grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Our experienced teachers bring learning to life, sharing their every day enthusiasm and wisdom.
