Preschool Programs
Our Preschool Programs serve children aged 31 months to 5 years with four age-segregated classrooms. Using an emergent curriculum, we focus on academic, social, and emotional development through structured activities and play-based learning. Our program prepares children for kindergarten success by developing literacy, numeracy, and social skills while emphasizing integrity, honesty, and appreciation of diversity.
Toddler Program
The Toddler Program accommodates children aged 18-30 months in three developmentally appropriate classrooms. Our trained staff facilitates socialization skills through circle time, sharing activities, and transitional visits from infant programs. Daily routines and specialized care help toddlers develop independence while maintaining continuity between home and daycare environments through detailed communication.
Infant Program
Our Infant Program serves children from 6 weeks to 18 months with individualized attention in age-specific classrooms. Certified caregivers provide nurturing care through feeding, diapering, and developmental activities. Daily report cards track feeding schedules, diaper changes, and milestones while maintaining open communication with parents during drop-off and pick-up times.
Emergent Curriculum
Our Emergent Curriculum adapts to children's natural interests and developmental stages through teacher-guided exploration. This approach combines structured learning with spontaneous discovery across all programs, fostering creativity and critical thinking. Activities are designed to meet state kindergarten readiness standards while allowing flexibility for individual learning styles and paces.
Risky Play
Risky Play opportunities help children develop physical coordination, social skills, and emotional resilience through supervised adventurous activities. Our outdoor spaces include climbing structures, sandboxes, and water play areas that encourage age-appropriate risk-taking. This approach builds confidence, problem-solving abilities, and environmental awareness while maintaining strict safety protocols.
