Q. Is there an educational curriculum?
A. We start our educational curriculum very early at the infant age with the “Preschool Palace” program. This is a ten(10) month curriculum that is implemented from September to June. Additionally, the learning continues with our specialized SeedKeepers interactive summer S.T.E M. enrichment program which runs for two(2) months during July and August. Our educational programs progressively become more and more detailed as children get older with simple shapes and colors then advancing to numbers and letters(phonics) and other age-specific activities(penmanship).
