The Highlands Early Education Program is community based and committed to creating a positive safe environment where your child's learning will thrive, be nurtured and loved. We find new and innovative ways to teach curriculum, foster development and ignite your child's imagination. Our licensed program cultivates the growth of your child's self-esteem, socialization, early education and the continuous developmental experience. The understanding, knowledge & skills of our teachers harbor a warm, loving and inviting atmosphere for your child which will raise your comfort level and ensure your peace of mind.
We believe that children learn best through play; that is why our program is developed around theme based curriculum, lesson plans and activities that teach fundamental concepts, for example, each week follows the a specific letter of the alphabet letter and are used as a springboard for science, art, movement, math and language activities. Other weeks follow curriculum focusing on the senses, recycling and protecting our world , our bodies, eating healthy and architecture week. This medium encourages children to express themselves in areas of social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth. The importance of muscle development is emphasized in our program through climbing on structures on the playground, digging in the sandbox, running, riding tricycles and using the upper body for physically active and body strengthening experience. The Early Education Program focuses on hands-on learning activities both in the classroom and outside that provide each child with the opportunity to learn at his/her level by their own tactile experience.

The ASP will offer children enriching, fun and exciting opportunities to both learn and play. Each day will offer a variety of activities to choose from so each child's special needs and interests will be met. It is also our goal to increase each child's awareness and respect for cultural diversity. While offering these activities we hope to build each child's confidence and self-esteem.
