Positive & Proven Outcomes
Fully Accredited Program
A Well-Rounded Experience With a Variaty of Advantage
At Page, we want all children to grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically by playing, exploring, and learning with others in a nurturing environment. We’ve been educating children for over 114 years using a blended philosophy, which pulls themes from some of the most well-recognized ideologies in early childhood education. Our program is:
As children progress through our program, we continue to work on developmental milestones focusing on fine and large motor skills. Age appropriate educational toys are utilized, and children begin to develop their individual personalities while continuing to improve their social skills.
Our toddler program is more academically structured, as children begin circle time focusing on songs, letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. Academic art is introduced and children begin coloring, painting, drawing, and gluing.
Page wants all children to have the opportunity to grow physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually by playing, exploring, and learning with others in a fun, safe, and healthy environment. We welcome positive family involvement and encourage a parent-teacher approach where the needs of every child come first!
Phonics-Based
Our academic program is phonics-based and utilizes the ZooPhonics© curriculum. In addition to letters and letter sounds, our students work on pre-writing, pre-math skills, and pre-reading skills. STEM activities are also used in partnership with our core curriculum to include activities in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math.

Self-Directed
Throughout the day, students have designated time to choose lessons that are of interest to them in the areas of practical life, sensory/tactile, culture, and the arts. This self-directed time encourages children to develop a sense of independence and confidence, while also exploring their natural curiosity and the interests unique to them as learners.
Play-Based
Your child’s education was meant to be fun, joyful, creative and inspiring. That’s why our students participate in hands-on, play-based activities that incorporate gardening, culinary, yoga and meditation themes, and even take part in tending to our butterfly garden and tortoise habit!
