Daily read-alouds that grow vocabulary, empathy, and a love of books.
Music
Singing, rhythm, and instruments that build memory and language.
Art
Painting, sculpting, and process-based projects that celebrate the journey.

Eating, bathroom routines, and handwashing are supported according to each child’s age and readiness.
