Harmony realizes how much children love toys! A tour of our classrooms tells you our toys are plentiful. We constantly replace broken toys and refresh our supply of much-loved baby dolls, trucks, blocks, games, manipulatives, etc.
A love of reading is one of the most important tools a child can possess. To assist the teachers in bringing stories to life, we have storytelling apron characters, hand puppets and flannel-board stories (approximately 35 of each). We also offer big books and cassette books to keep reading activities varied and interesting. Our listen and learn center allows the children to follow along with the cassette via individual headphones as they read or do activity cards. Harmony's goal is to help children explore the wonderful world of books and gain a love of literature.
Harmony has more than 1,200 storybooks for teachers to read to your child. In addition, each classroom is supplied with a library area where there are many, many more books for your child's hands-on enjoyment.
Our curriculum contains well-defined learning centers, child-initiated play and varied teacher-facilitated activities where children enjoy the learning process.
Parents are provided the curriculum for their child's group along with the daily schedule of activities. Harmony also has a resource center of books and activities in Spanish. Our Young Preschool, Preschool and Kindergarten children enjoy introductory Spanish Classes included in the curriculum.
