Features: Flexible scheduling, great communication, terrifi c teachers, fabulous families and a great education!About us: Hi! Let us tell you about Watch Me Grow! Our teachers believe learning must be fun! We learn best through play - so they set up really great centers for us to choose like blocks and fl exible Legos, science exploration, art discovery, dramatic play, etc. They teach us through singing and dancing to silly songs and rhymes; creating cool projects that help develop our fi ne motor skills and teach letters or numbers; and using awesome programs like Zoophonics. What’s Zoophonics? Our teachers are experts in it! (They even teach other teachers throughout the upper midwest). We learn signals (which helps the connections in our brains) and sounds to each zoo animal. It is fun because we get to move and act like our zoo animal friends. By the end of the year we know all of our sounds and letters and can sound out words.
