The Leading Edge Program has been developed to provide supervision and instruction for preschool age children, in four different areas of their life.
Academic: Pre-reading skills, mathematics association, science, and comprehension
Performing Art: music and singing
Physical Fitness
Emotional confidence, self-esteem and understanding of the learning process.
The techniques of Leading Edge are proven teaching techniques that encourage development and advancement of your child.
Leading Edge has teachers who have had many years of teaching experience. The original program was put together with a Board of Directors. This yields a wide range of educational experiences and will ensure that your child receives the highest educational experience possible.
The principles of Leading Edge are introduced through a fun workshop format, using hands-on experience, classroom guests, games, books, stories, and participant interactions. These techniques are used daily by the teaching staff.
This program is personalized to include consideration of your child’s needs, and to assure advancement in the four areas of instruction, sought by Leading Edge.
The original Board of Directors includes:
Diane Clark Vonnie Lue Broulim Connie Gooch Dr. Dwight Hansen
Ruth Ward Lyle Thompson Dr. Russell Hansen Britt Hargraves
The original founding teacher was Annette Thompson.
