All Around Child is a family owned, operated, and oriented early childhood facility that serves infants through 12 years of age. As a program, we have consistently offered our families a unique home away from home over the years. Our curriculum is strongly based on educational achievement, the development of well-rounded social skills, and an introduction to the arts. Our state-of-the-art facilities are not only child friendly, safe, and inviting but also fun and full of constant adventure. Our philosophy of teaching children is to encourage them to become “World Wise” by introducing them to science, math, literacy, physical education, the arts, and social studies through a hands-on play-based framework for learning. Our program has remained unique because we are constantly being inspired by the children. By their passion to discover something new, to build something beyond their wildest imaginations, and to see that they can do almost anything they want to if they only try. It is that passion that over the years has brought us to the influence of the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.
