Ascend Curriculum

Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!

Our Team
Shakiea Render
Assistant Director
Upon completion of high school I started my career in early childhood. I began as Teacher and was recently promoted to the assistant director. I like that early childhood education is the foundation for what children will grow up to become.
In my free time, I enjoy shopping and traveling.
Ivette Soto
Teacher of the Year
I started working in early childhood education in 2021 and I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience over the years. Early childhood education provides a safe environment for young kids/babies and encourages interaction with co-workers and families. It also builds meaningful bonds and connections. In my free time, I take walks and spend time with my family. I like to build with legos and paint.
