Our Programs
Toddler Care
For Toddlers ages 18 months – 2 Years old
In our toddler classrooms we encourage each child to learn how to make choices. We have designed the classrooms in such a way that each child can learn on an individual basis by choosing a center to engage in. In the toddler classrooms we will continue to focus on the six developmental domains. We will develop these domains by implementing age appropriate activities in the following areas: language arts, math/cognitive, science/sensory, art, motor skills, and music and movement.
Our staff will implement lesson plans that will increase their developing skills in a variety of age appropriate activities. Each morning and afternoon the children will participate in group time. In which they will work on recognizing shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. They will also introduce the calendar and weather elements.
In addition, we will encourage healthy social interactions by making sure each child is aware of their friends feeling and helping them to engage in constructive play with other children. The children will be exploring the outside world with outside play time, both in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting). The children will enjoy a wonderful playground with age appropriate equipment where they can climb, run, and play.

Early Preschool
Early Preschool Ages 2 - 4 years old
The Early Preschool classroom is designed with the child in mind. The Early Preschool classroom places a large emphasis on curriculum, as well as potty training. Our staff will work with your child’s individual needs to become fully potty trained if they are not already. We have developed a system that is sure to make potty training a rewarding experience for both parent and child.
Teachers will begin largely focusing on the children’s fine motor skills. The children will learn the correct way to hold and handle a pencil, use scissors to cut a straight line, and tracing letters and numbers.
Our staff will implement lesson plans that will focus on language arts, math/cognitive, science/sensory, art, motor skills, and music and movement. The children will be required to master the recognition of all shapes and colors before entering the preschool classroom. Along with mastering the recognition of shapes and colors they will be working on continuing to recognize letters, numbers, their name in print, and their friends’ names in print.
The children will be exploring the outside world with outside play time (weather permitting). The children will enjoy a wonderful playground with age appropriate equipment where they can climb, run, and play.
