Children's Education
Early Childhood Education (Infants/Toddlers/Pre-School)
Our goals in our Early Childhood Education Program are to nurture
and enrich the children's lives and to prepare them for kindergarten.
For the children ages 6 months to 3 years we focus on socialization
and motor perception. For the children ages 3 to 5 we focus on socio-emotional,
cognitive, and physical development. The children learn colors,
shapes, numbers, letters, pre-reading, and pre-math skills. While
the children are learning, their parents are learning too! The parents
attend a parenting class and a parent support group.
Homework Club
Monday through Thursday, children seek out the environment and
protection of the learning center at SHCS. They bring their school
assignments and, together with the help of a qualified volunteer,
work on and complete their homework. As part of the Homework Club,
children are also offered enrichment programs such as art and dance,
provided by Tapestry Arts. They also attend monthly field trips
to such places as The Tech Museum, The Children's Discovery Museum,
and Happy Hollow Zoo.

There are enrichment programs as well. These include art, creative
