Learn Math and Literacy Through Games!
Children love to play games. Our hands-on, interactive approach engages children with creative, meaningful play. The children think they are just having fun, but what is really happening is they are learning methods of sequencing, strategic thinking and problem solving. We are singing the phonics alphabet, engaging in clip card challenges, cracking the code with picture clues, and building brain power with memory match games and amazing mazes! The result is dynamic interplay that enhances a child’s natural learning process and is FUN!

Susan Edwards is a seasoned educator who cares deeply for the development of children. Her approach of creative activities in a fun and flexible classroom results in children who are curious, confident, communicative, and love to learn.
