One of the best ways to help children succeed is to teach them to be confident thinkers. 

Our EmBe Education Curriculum for Preschool (ages 3-5) aligns with the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework and South Dakota Early Learning Guidelines. Using play-based learning, children develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills. EmBe Education works to provide your family with the best services available to prepare your child for Kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.

Our goal is to offer a safe, healthy and fun environment for your child(ren). Parents remember to keep their children home if they display signs of illness. We will be following illness exclusion procedures to ensure the safety of our children, families, and staff. We will continue the sanitation of common areas and toys to prevent the spread of illness. We will continue to educate children and staff on specific hand washing techniques.

Q: If my child or anyone in the child’s household exhibits the following symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat, trouble breathing, headache, or diarrhea, may we bring our child(ren) for care at EmBe?

A: No. We are only as safe as all of our parents and guardians allow us to be. We ask that you notify your primary care physician for direction and keep your child’s site manager updated.

Q: Are toys allowed from home?

A: No. To reduce the spread of germs, no toys are allowed from home. All EmBe toys, puzzles, books, and games are sanitized between use by children.
