The Carousel Credo
The Carousel Credo includes techniques from a variety of early childhood frameworks, creating a conglomerate of strategies unique to Carousel. Carousel values the importance of play and adventure by incorporating intentional learning objectives through play-based delivery. Our advanced kindergarten preparatory program utilizes researched-based curricula’s and methods of interaction to teach children the appropriate developmental skills to continue progressing and preparing for top rated elementary schools. Once targeted developmental skills are achieved, we push our students to advance to the next level of learning. Our practices are developmentally appropriate and comprehensive, encouraging the growth of the whole child. This includes targeting social emotional development, cognitive development, general knowledge, mathematics, science, social studies, creative expression, language and literacy, physical development and approaches to learning. ​
Carousel Committed

Starting in the infant room through Pre-K 4, our children are exposed to age-appropriate stimuli and activities designed to encourage their developmental growth.
