Shaquita’s passion lies in developing strong relationships with the children she teaches and their families. She believes that maintaining small class sizes and fostering a sense of community enable her team to truly understand each child as an individual. This approach allows them to provide a solid and supportive foundation during the crucial early years of development.

At TrainUpAChild, they follow a Montessori-inspired philosophy and offer quality education through a play-based, child-led curriculum. Their approach integrates math, science, engineering, art, social sciences, and early literacy. The program encourages children to explore their interests and ideas, fostering a love for learning.

Về chương trình của chúng tôi

At our school, we teach the concepts of math, science, engineering, art, social sciences and early literacy through our play-based, child-led curriculum. We use the interests and ideas of the children as a jumping off place. The materials are open-ended and invite discovery. Children make their own investigations and draw their own conclusions whenever possible.

After-school/homeschooling programs are offered as well.
