Classes

At PALZ, we are passionate about teaching through play, imagination, and creativity because we believe that is the best way to help children fall in love with learning.

We strive to help your child become a strong individual by supporting and encouraging self-confidence and exploration of new skills.  We also teach them to be of good character, so that as they grow they will shine brightly.

Your child will learn in a cozy, homelike environment. The small class sizes and unique activities ensure each child has an opportunity to learn according to his or her individual learning style.  They will learn basic literacy, math, and science through games and activities designed with unusual teaching materials.

We are always on the go and the children have tons of fun learning with one another, even when they do not realize they are learning!

PALZ classes are constructed based on the number of children registered in each age group.

As enrollment numbers require, different age groups may be combined in the same classroom but each child will still receive teaching appropriate to his or her level.
