Be Above provides a safe, healthy learning environment that stimulates curiosity and joy in learning. Be Above believes that children’s play provides the foundation for academic learning (“Children learn best through play”). Play is the “work” of young children. The philosophy that guides the program is that young children learn best by doing and that parents are children’s primary teachers.
