A day at Yellow Kite Learning Center is filled with hands-on learning experiences. Our developmentally appropriate instruction is guided by the Utah Core Curriculum guidelines. We offer a balanced approach that includes literacy and math activities, writing, science exploration, creative development, and movement. As we learn and work together we develop positive social skills.

Our Philosphy
Young children are capable of understanding at a richer level than adults often assume. Given the correct tools and opportunities to explore, they will enter kindergarten prepared to succeed in school.
Math
Our math instruction nurtures students' curiosity about number, patterns, measurement, and shapes. Positive math experiences at a young age create learners who are more likely to develop a life-long love of mathematics.
Arts and Creative Development
What do children love more than a chance to create? Children are given opportunities to express their unique personalities through movement, fine arts, music, and crafts. We build a warm environment where children feel free to explore--even make an occassional mess--as they create.
Literacy
The foundations for reading and writing are built throughout early childhood. Even pre-readers use these early experiences with play, language, and literacy to help make sense of the world around them. As a main area of focus we offer a variety of activities to help students learn about letters, sounds, and words.
Play
Play is vitally important to a child's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. Our program purposefully includes an extended playtime. In order to have time to truly flex their creative powers, children need enough time to focus on their play. We have available a wide assortment of blocks, puppets, dress-ups, trains, dolls, and other toys that promote imagination and divergent thinking.
