The Children’s Connection is a Core Knowledge based school. We pride ourselves with great teaching styles and passion for working with young children.

The Core Knowledge Philosophy serves as the framework for our teaching style. This philosophy puts emphasis on young children and basic skills such as reading, writing, science, social studies, and math. The curriculum is sequenced in an order corresponding to the age/grade of each child. This philosophy effectively assists us in focusing on each child as an individual rather than all children in any given classroom.

The Children’s Connection has a combined experience of over 15 years in early childhood. We have educated staff and our teachers have a great passion to work with young children. Instead of “watching” your child, we will “teach” your child to help them be as successful as they can be.

The Children’s Connection has a unique service concept: We provide a highly educated staff, a great learning environment, and lower child to teacher ratio in our classrooms.
