Services
Infant Care
Our infant care program supports children aged 6 weeks to 12 months through sensory-rich activities that promote motor skill development and early communication. Certified caregivers maintain low child-to-staff ratios to ensure individualized attention. Daily routines follow family-provided schedules for feeding and napping while introducing foundational learning concepts through play-based interactions.
Toddler Programs
Designed for 1-2 year olds, our toddler curriculum focuses on socialization and independence through structured play and basic skill development. Small group activities encourage language acquisition and motor coordination. Teachers implement positive behavior guidance techniques while preparing children for classroom environments through gradual transition processes that minimize separation anxiety.
Pre-K Programs
Our Pre-K programs (ages 2-4) combine academic preparation with social-emotional development through themed learning centers. Children engage in literacy, math, and science activities aligned with kindergarten readiness standards. Daily circle time promotes classroom community while individualized assessment tracks progress toward developmental milestones through teacher observations and portfolio documentation.
Before Care
Before care services operate from 6:30-8:30 AM daily, providing supervised activities for early arrivals. Children participate in quiet play and breakfast (if needed) before transitioning to classroom routines. This program accommodates working families while maintaining consistent start times for structured learning activities at 8:30 AM.
After Care
After care services extend supervision until 6:00 PM with age-appropriate activities including outdoor play and creative projects. This program maintains continuity with daily learning themes while allowing flexible pick-up times for families. Staff implement consistent dismissal procedures to ensure child safety during extended hours.
