Message from Yvonne McGowan, Director of Family Ties
Our program provides a variety of experiences that will foster learning and encourages sell-expression and creativity. We strive to make the first learning experience an enjoyable and memorable one.
Involving families in their child's education is essential. When children feel secure and confident they are able to concentrate and develop to their fullest potential. We encourage all families to participate and visit Family Ties.
It is our goal to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun learning environment.
We believe children learn best when they are healthy and respected. Our curriculum is designed to be meaningful and challenging. It is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child.
Play is also a critical element in a child's development. When your child leaves our program s/he will have grown socially and intellectually. S/he will be proud of his/her accomplishments.
