A Typical 2's Day

Pre-Kindergarten: This program 

utilizes group games and activities that build children's interpersonal relationships and leadership skills while continuing to focus on each child's cognitive development in preparation for more structured kindergarten programs.

Three-Year-Old:  This program broadens and introduces more formal cognitive experiences.  Through creative play-based lessons children are exposed to the foundations of learning and social skills.

Two-Year-Old:  This loosely structured program gives children the freedom and opportunity to interact with their peers.  Children explore their natural world through activities which stimulate their cognitive and emotional growth.

Play, Grow, Learn---BHPCNS has always believed that children learn best through play.  More and more studies are showing that a play-based curriculum in preschool lays the best foundation for academic learning later in life. 


BHPCNS gives children free play time to explore the world around them and discover themselves.
