Our multicultural curriculum is comprised of hands-on learning experiences for all of the cultures our children explore. Each month, we will focus on a different culture and explore its themes in the areas of art, music, theater, indoor and outdoor installations, hands-on artifacts, and food. These Curriculum highlights are distributed to the parents each month.
