Polly Panda's Program

Most importantly, we believe that children should have fun while learning.

The teachers plan activities for each of their groups from infants through kindergarten, along with the school age children in our summer program.

Our infant program, while providing a lot of individual attention allows each child to establish their own daily schedule.

Beginning with our toddlers and preschoolers, you will see weekly lesson plans posted. This allows you to know the special weekly theme, such as animals, colors, or weather. .. and the special activities our caring staff have planned to include science, language, creative arts, small motor, math, dramatic play and gross motor development.

Our toddler and preschool groups also have a daily schedule posted that allows for periods of quiet and active playas well as small and large group activities. This schedule allows each child to have predictability in their daily routines. Overall, we offer a program with a variety of activities to enhance every child's developmental level.

Polly Panda cannot, however, guarantee a certain level of academic performance.
