About the Provider

Description: With development programs for infants through school-agers, Precious Moments offers something for every family. Our programs are designed to encourage learning in the most natural of ways, the ways children learn best. Precious Moments recognizes that children are naturally curious and we embrace that natural curiosity. To teach critical foundational science, math, reading and writing concepts, we provide hands-on, sensory-oriented activities. We support this active exploration and investigation through creative play.
