Solving the puzzle for kids

Carden Kids Academy on the campus of California State University Channel Islands offers a preschool program where children can participate in activities such as solving puzzles, learning math and letter concepts, creating art and playing at sensory tables.

An outdoor playground is shaded by trees, and the indoor classroom provides hands-on opportunities that balance academic and developmental learning styles.

The program is designed to build a foundation for creative thinking, love of learning and excitement for nature, according to an academy spokesperson.
