Infants
In our Infant room we take care of children 6 weeks old up to 1 year old. The children get read to, have tummy time, do age appropriate art/sensory activities, listen to music, get sung to, and also have plenty of toys to play with. We follow your nap/food schedule.
Toddlers
The toddler age is an amazing age. This is the time that the children begin to talk and learn bunches of new words. The children learn basic counting, shapes, colors, and to recognize some letters. The children participate in circle time, story time, art/sensory, music and movement, and fine motor activities daily. Weather permitting the children go outside twice daily.
Young Preschool
In this classroom, the children are preparing for the next step ... Preschool. The focus is creating more structure throughout the day. We offer a variety of learning centers. We are preparing children so when they enter Preschool they will have the language, early literacy, mathematics, social and emotional, physical, and cognitive skills necessary for success. Through out the day, children will have many opportunities to learn about friendship, develop language, and beginning literacy skills. This is also the room where learning to zip zippers, button buttons, snap snaps, and potty training begins.
Preschool
In the Preschool classroom, we focus on each child's social, physical, and academic development. Children develop independence and the necessary skills for future success. Children learn math, writing, fine motor, language, and science skills that will help prepare them for Kindergarten. Children also have time for dramatic play, art, music and movement, and outdoor play.
