IS YOUR CHILD READY TO LEARN?    DON'T GUESS.   KNOW FOR SURE!

Every child develops in his own style and at his own pace. In the first three years of life, most children develop new skills in a predictable order - they crawl before they walk (motor), and they point before they use words to tell you what they want (language); they interact with toys before learning to play with others (social), cling to you for safety before attempting independence (emotional), and they imitate what you do before venturing out into self-discovery (intellectual).

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
