Our
Programs

We encourage imagination and learning led by the child’s interest, which develops critical thinking skills. Our Patchers are well-prepared for “big school,” learning numbers, letters, and writing. Our comprehensive creative curriculum program supports a nurturing environment in which each child’s earliest learning experiences are encouraging, engaging, and of the highest possible quality—where all children develop a love for learning and become creative, confident, and caring learners. Our Teaching Strategies integrates all four essential elements for a high quality early childhood education:

Diversity and Inclusion

Throughout our school community, We share a commitment to fostering a culture where differences are valued and interactions are free of bias. At The Pa-Paw Patch, we are committed to developing the whole child including their unique identities, abilities, backgrounds, and a point of view to make a difference and have a positive impact. We want our Employees, Teachers, Families, and Children in our care to be comfortable sharing their authentic selves. The strength comes from the diversity of our Team members, Families, and Children and their unique perspectives. The result is a safe, inclusive environment and together we work hard to celebrate diversity, embrace our community, and create a sense of belonging where everyone thrives.
