THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The Learning Experience is redefining the concept of a day care facility. Its
proprietary L.E.A.P (Learning Experience Academic Program) curriculum
encourages children to learn in their favorite way by exploring and doing.
They achieve success independently while developing intellectually, socially
and cognitively through varied early educational materials, activities and social
interactions. The center consistently develops innovative new curriculum
programs, based on research and trends in early childhood education, and
introduces new monthly themes that include real-world, hands-on learning
while exposing children to 21st century skills. In addition, The Learning
Experience engages little ones by incorporating fun animated characters into
the curriculum such as: Bubbles, the playful elephant, Phoebe, the literatureloving
llama and Billy, the Shakesperian goat. www.thelearningexperience.com

EAST WOODS SCHOOL
Since 1946, East Woods School has been molding confident, motivated and
kind leaders. The faculty cultivates confidence through the philosophy that
making mistakes presents the best opportunity to learn and grow. From
a young age, children are taught to be fearless in the face of failure and
are encouraged to raise their hand and ask questions. East Woods School
offers a STEAM-based curriculum where students can immerse themselves
in science, technology, math, foreign languages, history, literature, athletics
and the arts (musical, performing, visual and industrial). Students are also
provided with numerous public speaking and performing opportunities
from their years in the Early Childhood Center to the eighth grade. Students
understand that their education is a journey, and not a number on a test.
