Our Program (cont.)
Pre-School through Kindergarten
This Program is exactly what your child needs! The chance to learn through hands-on experiences! Our environment and curriculum encourage your child’s intellectual, social and physical development!
We maintain low staff to child ratios to ensure your child the opportunities that they deserve as they grow and learn. Many types of children will be integrated into your child’s playgroup, which will help prepare them for the move into their larger world! Our Anti-Bias Curriculum teaches equality, tolerance and appreciation for uniqueness, while our Social Awareness Curriculum guides children to socially appropriate behaviors, among other skills.
Our Developmentally Appropriate "Play to Learn" Curriculum, provides two through six year olds with all of the foundational skills that they so desperately need in this busy and dynamic world.
As Parents of a pre-school age child, you will want to see your child show you his or her "stuff"! And they will! These children are eager to share their new-found skills. We won’t forget the child in them though. They get lots of playtime and plenty of down-time. This program teaches and reinforces social and academic skills, helping young children to develop empathy and leadership skills, and encouraging them to have fun finding ways to use these new skills!

Infant / Toddler Program
Like our Infant / Toddler Early Development Program, your Pre-School or Kindergarten age child will become a part of a close-knit group. This group will consist of two and three year olds, or four and five year olds, plus two primary teachers. Your child will remain with their peers throughout their time, learning to bond with their peers as well as their teachers.
The wonderful results of this combined age program structure include life-long friendships between the children, and between you and your child’s teachers. Among the advantages of the combined age classroom structure is that in this environment, we see younger children model the older children, learning by example, and the older children assist the younger children, learning leadership skills and reinforcing their own developing skills.
We believe in scheduled blocks of time for children to explore (at their own pace) the materials prepared by their teachers. This exploration is most effective when the children know their teachers and peers well and are secure in their environment. Research has upheld the belief that when young children feel safe and comfortable, and receive enough dedicated attention (as in this type of environment) there are incredible developmental advantages. These advantages result from a child being free to explore the world around them and can be observed in social, intellectual and physical development. You will enjoy witnessing this exploration when you come in to view our program.
