This day care center is committed to nurturing all children in a loving environment, preparing them to become lifelong learners. Their holistic philosophy seeks to foster all aspects of a child's development through discovery-based learning, student-led activities, and age-appropriate curriculum, all supported by a staff of certified teachers.
This progressive early learning center has programs for children aged six weeks to eight years old. At each level, children are cared for and encouraged to grow through their developmentally appropriate curriculum:
The Infant Program's safe and warm atmosphere centers on routine: Babies engage in sensory stimulating activities like singing, story time, instruments, tummy time, and exploration through movement. Caregivers tend to each child's needs while also helping them develop self-soothing skills.
The Toddler Program introduces new daily activities: During circle time, toddlers sing, share stories, listen, show and tell, and more. Toddlers use their large motor skills outside as they run, jump, slide, and bounce balls.
The Three's Program teaches key preschool concepts: Children become familiar with counting, shapes and colors. Topics like the weather and days of the week are discussed during circle time. Dramatic play and arts and crafts deepen each child’s social skills and self-awareness.
The Pre-Kindergarten Program is a Kindergarten Readiness Program: From computer time to puzzles to building literacy skills, this pre-K program challenges four-year-olds in a developmentally appropriate manner. Communication skills are taught through various types of play, and kids have plenty of free time indoors and out.
The School Age Program is available for kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade: Before and after-school programs, as well as half-day AM and PM classes for kindergarteners support school age kids through homework help and fun activities.
