Infants

Infant Full-Day Program (ages: 6 weeks to 15 months)
Our "Dali" infant room provides your child with the loving, caring, safe environment he/she needs to to develop positive relationships with others.  We see the responsibility for consistent care as a partnership between parents and caregivers.  Building that partnership requires strong, honest, daily communication.

Our infants grow and explore at their own pace with gentle guidance from their teachers, who also help them explore the great outdoors.

Toddlers

Toddler Full-Day Program (ages: 16 to 24 months)
Your toddler will enjoy exciting activities and experiences in our "Picasso" toddler room. The teachers focus on providing the nurturing and caring environment that every toddler needs.

We encourage the children to follow simple daily routines that help them become more social and self-reliant.  Effective two-way communication between teacher and child is critical to the success of our classroom.  Our goal is to make every toddler feel the classroom is their home away from home. We constantly strive to keep them safe, comfortable and happy while we achieve great milestones together.

2-Year-Olds

2-Year-Old Full-Day Preschool (ages: 2 to 3 years)
The "Warhol" room, our program for 2-year-olds, includes math, science, reading, language activities, and social studies.  The children and teachers also venture out into the community to explore nature and experience the world firsthand.

Especially at this age, it's important for teachers and parents to work together as a team.  We strive to keep the lines of communication open and flowing.  As part of this 2-year-old program, your child will experience and accomplish the potty training process.

3-Year-Olds

3-Year-Old Full-Day Preschool (ages: 3 to 4 years)
In the "Monet" room, we cultivate your 3-year-old's individuality through self-help and self-expression. It is our goal to make this year a successful and fun learning experience for all.

The children enjoy daily activities, monthly projects and special field trips. The key to our success is working together as a team. Our curriculum is hands-on, challenging and uses developmentally appropriate materials. Each child's individuality and specific needs are recognized and celebrated.  Our 3-year-old curriculum includes social science, foreign language, math, science, and language arts.

Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten Full-Day Preschool (ages: 4 to 5 years)
Our "Matisse" pre-K program is tailored to meet the needs of every child, and includes a variety of fun and engaging learning experiences.  The room is designed to be a safe and comfortable environment for your child.

Because you are an important part of your child's growth and development, we believe that communication between the child, family and teachers is very important. This pre-K class is more structured and education- focused to ensure a smooth transition to kindergarten.  Students participate in large-group work to learn with all of their classmates, and in small groups that allow for more one-on-one interaction.

Kindergarten

Kindergarten Full-Day Program (ages: 5 to 6 years)
In the Mosaic Room, our kindergarteners experience a diverse teaching environment that fosters the students’ enthusiasm and energy by offering great challenges and creative learning opportunities.

Students participate in centers, art studio sessions, large group activities, and small group activities.  Through these rewarding lessons students will further grow and develop through the physical, social-emotional, and cognitive stages of their development.

After completing our kindergarten curriculum, students are well prepared to successfully enter first grade.
