Early childhood development experience is a plus.

Its rich academic content is designed to stimulate the child in many different ways, to optimize the natural development of the child's brain. This wonderful approach facilitates learning experiences for children in areas such as mathematics, reading, writing, drama, science, visual arts, music, yoga and many more. It is based on the belief that children must be given the opportunity to learn and exercise their intellect in various forms, such as the expression of their creativity, reasoning, and sequential thinking.
