The infant classroom serves children between the ages of six weeks and 12 months. The program stresses the importance of meeting social and emotional needs of infants, as well as the need for an enriched environment. Experiences are provided to enhance children’s cognitive, sensory, motor and language development. Morning and afternoon activities may include outside play. The program is highly individualized and activities are based on the developmental needs of the children in the room, individual child reports are completed throughout the day and given to parents at the time of pick-up.

The toddler classroom serves children between the ages of 12 months and two years.  The program offers children experiences which emphasize emotional and social development as well as the development of cognitive, language, physical, sensory perception, spatial ability, creative expression, and self-awareness.  Activities are based on the developmental needs of the children in the room, individual child reports are completed throughout the day and given to parent(s) at the time of pick-up.

The preschool classroom provides experiences for children between the ages of three to four years of age.   Experiences are based on an understanding of the social, cognitive, emotional, and physical needs of the children in the program.  Experiences in art, music, dramatic play, language arts, reading, blocks, science, and mathematics are offered daily.  The children also have many opportunities to explore the outside environment and community events within our facility.

The pre-kindergarten classroom provides experiences for children between the ages of four to five years of age.  At this age our primary focus is consistency and routine.  Your child will feel safe and secure with a predictable, consistent daily schedule in place, similar to a school setting.  They will know what activity comes next and what our expectations are for each activity, which will help them learn more!

The preschool classroom provides experiences for children between the ages of two and three years of age.  Our program is based on the philosophy of learning through PLAY, with the implementation of activities which support the children’s interests and development.  They will explore the world around them with the materials and experiences provided to them throughout the day.  During this age, we typically begin the toilet training process and to gradually accomplish independent toileting skills.  It is a big step in each child’s life and should be approached with patience and care as well as strong partnership with parents.
