Childhood is a unique and valuable stage in the life cycle. Our paramount responsibility is to provide safe, healthy, nurturing, and responsive settings for children. We are committed to supporting children’s development by cherishing individual differences, by helping them learn to live and work cooperatively, and by promoting their self-esteem.
 

 

Infant Program:
   starting @ 8 weeks

Each infant is cared for individually with regard to his/her special temperament. The environment is thoughtfully prepared to give optimum opportunity for growth and development. Staff maintains a daily log for parents regarding eating, sleeping and diapering.

Routine tasks are used as opportunities for pleasant conversation and playful interactions. Staff members continually provide learning opportunities for infants and toddlers, most often in response to the child’s own cue.

 

 

 

Toddler Program:
   15 mos. – 2 years 9 mos.

The toddler program provides the language and motor development so necessary for the young child. Educational activities are child-centered and informal. Staff maintains a daily log for parents regarding eating, sleeping and diapering. Staff provide an appropriately challenging, safe environment for toddlers to explore and manipulate.

 

 

 

 

Preschool Program:
   2 years 9 mos. – 4+ years

The preschool program fosters positive self-image, independence, and cooperation through individual learning activities, group sharing and creative art experiences. Staff assist children to be comfortable, relaxed, happy and involved in play and teacher-directed activities. Staff encourage pro-social behaviors among children, through modeling and coaching. Staff encourage independence in children as they are ready.

The Pre-K/Kindergarten program encourages individual talents and interests through a variety of challenging opportunities.
