enrollment patterns. The toddler program is designed to stimulate growth

environment, this includes physical affection and hands-on learning.
Mini-World’s first goal is to establish a bond of trust which is so
crucial for children of this age and their parents.

For children two years up to the age of
eligibility. These programs are coordinated with the Kindergarten in
mind. Designed to prepare your child to express themselves and learn
about the world around them in a safe, warm and affectionate atmosphere
that allows each child to know how special he or she is. The children
are encouraged to use self discipline to redirect themselves into
acceptable behavior.

school system, this program offers a variety of fun, creative activities
and continues the commitment of the total development of your child.
