"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.". -Margaret Mead
Infant & Toddler Program
Our Infant and Toddler program offers care for children from 6 weeks through two and one half years old. Our Infant/Toddler rooms are connected by doors, creating a "suite" of rooms. Our infant room provides a nurturing environment with many of the same comforts as a home. A separate area is available to accommodate infant feeding, changing, sleeping, and rocking.
The Toddler rooms are set up with developmentally appropriate furniture and toys. Toddlers are constantly exploring their environment and require the space and the materials to do so. Our program is fun and exciting for your child with many opportunities for learning. Music and movement is a popular activity. Early language and literacy development is also an important part of our program. We also work on potty training! When your child is ready, let us know and we will work to make this transition as easy as possible.
3 Year Old Preschool
Learning to share and cooperate with others is a very important component of our preschool program. Through creative play, participation in small group activities, and being a part of a larger group, your child will develop many friendships. Through the program's daily schedule the children develop a sense of order. Children will participate in activities designed to explore and develop small and large motor skills.
Our preschool program includes a monthly calendar with weekly themes, daily activities such as music and movement, art and crafts, early literacy activities, and exciting hands on activities. We are busy at play!
