Learning at the Lighthouse

BLOCK CENTER: Strengthens large and small muscle coordination and provides opportunity for understanding of shapes and size discrimination (pre-writing, math and science readiness).


HOUSEKEEPING CENTER: Allows for role play, language expression, creativity and socialization.


ART: Provides a variety of materials and experiences for self-expression, understanding of colors, shapes and textures.
