Early childhood programming plays a crucial role in the development of children from six weeks to five years of age. These formative years are characterized by rapid brain development, where foundational skills in language, social interaction, and cognitive abilities are established. Quality early childhood programs are designed to nurture these areas, providing a safe and stimulating environment that promotes exploration and learning.
programs we offer
our families
Our infant classrooms serve babies from six weeks through 18 months of age. The day is full of singing, nursery rhymes, and dancing. Based on your child's age, the focus may be on rolling over, sitting up, encouraging crawling or walking, or using a paintbrush to create a masterpiece. Experiences such as filling and dumping empty boxes, blowing and catching bubbles, water play, and pouring un-cooked noodles into different colored and shaped containers support the development of all the domains, no matter your baby’s age.

Infants
Grow with Guidance
Our toddler classrooms are designed to support children between the ages of 18 months through three years old. The toddler program's goals are to create opportunities for them to build friendships with one another. Toddlers will explore materials to support language, and their daily experiences will encourage independence. Children learn about shapes, colors, and use blocks to count and understand cause and effect, learn about rhyming, and use creativity by playing make-believe. There is also a heavy emphasis on social emotional curriculum, which helps foster skill building in regards to sharing matierial, sharing spaces, and working through big emotions.
