Our Programs
INFANTS (6 Weeks to 15 Months)
Enjoy a wholesome environment where your child will begin to discover the world around them. With low child-to-staff ratios, the staff creates individualized schedules to meet each child’s needs, and families receive daily communication from teachers, ensuring everyone stays on the same page when it comes to their care.
TODDLERS(15 Months to 2.9 Years)
With guidance throughout the day as they navigate social situations, children investigate cause and effect, relationships and build on essential early language and motor skills. Daily routines give children the opportunity to develop a sense of security, confidence, and willingness to engage in their environment as well as with their peers.
PRESCHOOL & PRE-K ( 3 - 5 Years)
Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs provide a safe, nurturing environment in which children can learn to communicate, cooperate and care about each other. Our low child-to-staff ratios give your preschooler one-on-one interaction with teachers. When your child takes part in our Preschool or Kindergarten Readiness program, they will have a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our robust curriculum in our Pre-K program prepares children to become independent learners and develop self-confidence for sharing in a classroom setting.
