Who We Are

Infants: Three to Twelve months of age
Our infant program supports the baby’s development and takes care of his/her daily needs in a loving and nurturing environment. Children are offered developmentally appropriate toys to observe and manipulate, books to look at and listen to and music in various forms. They are surrounded by verbal communication from their teachers and are able to interact with their peers. We communicate to individual parents about the important parts of the baby’s day such as diapering, feeding and sleeping.

Toddlers: One to Two years of age
Toddlers learn by experiencing the environment through their senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch) through physical movement and social interaction. Non-mobile infants absorb information about the world around them as adults read, talk, and sing with them. They are offered developmentally appropriate toys to observe and manipulate. These children are surrounded by a nurturing, stimulating environment throughout the day.

Two to Three Years of age
This program emphasizes communication, problem solving, gross and fine motor and play skills. There is a major emphasis on indoor and outdoor motor activities and pretend, imaginary, dramatic and creative play. These children are immersed in a “whole language” environment and are guided through all activities through interaction with adults and peers.

Four and Five Years of age
Children develop an understanding of the concept of self, others, and the world around them through observation and interaction with adults and peers. Through the use of educational materials, the children seek solutions to concrete problems. The areas of math, science, social studies, and health are integrated into meaningful activities. Some of our activities include: building with blocks; measuring various substances (sand, water, or cooking ingredients); observing changes in the environment; working with tools; sorting various objects for a purpose; exploring animals, plants, water, wheels and gears; singing and listening to music from various cultures; and art (drawing, painting and working with various media). This class follows a variety of routines that enhance their cognitive abilities and broaden their knowledge base.

Outdoor experiences will be provided for children of all ages.
