We emphasize the importance of written language and the recognition of meaningful words.  The activities at My First Place are designed to teach the alphabet, phonics, and penmanship.  By providing children with a print rich environment we stimulate the development of language and literary skills. Each classroom is equipped with age appropriate centers that allow children to choose, interact, and develop new skills.  Our staff is well trained to provide experiences and learning materials that allow each child to build important foundations for future academic success.
