Special features:
- LA curriculum promotes learning and development in each of the following domains: social, emotional, physical, language, and cognitive while focusing on the whole child. Children are actively involved throughout the day in multisensory activities inside and out including art, music, language including foreign language, emergent literacy, brain-power and physical activities designed to be fun and nurturing.
- LA Chapel Hill provides optimal nutrition for snacks and midday meals including the freshest natural foods, complete proteins and dairy-free of antibiotics, hormones, fertilizers and dyes of concern. We believe optimal nutrition enhances optimal learning.
