Our goal is to promote learning through the joy of discovery. Children, supported by our teachers are always thinking, exploring, experiencing, learning, and testing new skills.
Throughout the day we have our students work on their motor skills. We encourage free dance and outdoor play for their gross motor skills.
Their fine motor skills will be further developed through the use of different manipulative exercises such as scissors, puzzles, and play dough. These types of play create strength in their hands and are a stepping stone for the next class.
Your teacher will reach out with a monthly newsletter to keep you aware of everything related to classroom activities.

I felt the lord calling me to come to Foundations for quite some time, but I was nervous about change. I'm so glad I took a leap of faith and I love my teaching journey here at Foundations! I pray that this year, I can grow as a better leader for your children and show them the love of Jesus. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
