High-Quality Early Learning
and Child Care



Programs

We offer programs for children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. If you have any questions about these programs, please feel free to contact us.

Infants

Our infant department provides the highest quality of care in a loving environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. While in our care, the children are stimulated through music, exercise, outdoor time, facial and verbal mimicking as well as lots of hugs and tickles.

All infant rooms are set up with a ratio of 1 teacher for every 4 infants. We change all infant diapers every two hours unless the child has a bowel movement or otherwise specified by a parent. Also, we have a regulation that states an infant cannot be left in a chair, jumper, bouncer or swing for longer than 15 minutes at a time. The only time and place this would not apply would be if that infant were sleeping in their bed. This is to help ensure each child is getting plenty of time being held and also a lot of variety in their day.

Each parent will receive an electronic daily report at the end of their child’s day that informs you of when your child ate, slept, was changed, daily activities, reminders, any special notes as well as any cute moments we may have caught on camera that day.

Due to the differing rate at which infants will develop, we have divided our infant department into two infant rooms based on age:

Infant Room One (6 weeks to 12 months)

Each child assigned to this room will have their own crib as we do not practice crib-sharing. Infants will have access to multiple toys and sensory items to help stimulate mobility and learning. All infants in this room set their own nap and feeding schedule and our teachers will do their very best to accommodate the wishes of the parents. Lastly, on weather permitting days, we can get even the youngest of infants outside to enjoy some fresh air in the comfort of our strollers.

Infant Room Two (12 to 18 months)

Each child will have their own assigned mat to sleep on along with their own sheet that will be cleaned weekly. In this infant room we strive to get all the infants on the same schedule. They will eat and nap together to help encourage a consistent routine for each infant. Furthermore, each infant will be offered a breakfast, lunch and snack daily as well as milk from a sippy cup. Since most infants are walking by 12 months, this age group will be able to go outside and play on our age-appropriate playground equipment.

Toddlers

At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Walking and eventually running are levels they accomplish in what seems like a blink of an eye. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our caregivers are dedicated in helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship.

All toddler rooms are set up with a ratio of 1 teacher for every 6 toddlers. All toddlers will be on the same schedule for eating and sleeping. We also change toddler diapers every two hours unless the child has a bowel movement, is in the process of potty training or as otherwise specified by a parent. Each toddler will have their own cot to sleep on along with their own sheet that will be washed weekly.

The toddler rooms will follow the themed weeks and structure of the curriculum prepared by our Curriculum Director, so by the time they get to the preschool rooms they are already familiar with some of the activities. Each parent will receive an electronic daily report at the end of your child’s day to update each family on meal times, nap times, toilet training and all activities accomplished each day.

Due to the differing rate at which toddlers develop, we have divided our toddler department into two toddler rooms based on age:

Toddler Room One (18 months to 2 years)
Toddler Room Two (2 to 3 years)

Preschoolers

A good preschool can make a difference in a child's future school years. We offer individual programs for children to help them learn in an environment that is stress free and fun. Some learning centers our preschoolers explore are music, science, math, language arts and manipulative play. All preschool students will have a daily nap/quiet time based on their individual needs. If your child does not require a nap, we still request that they have a quiet time where they sit on their cots and are able to read books, color or do other quiet activities until nap time is over. We believe that each student needs some down time each day to help them rest and take a break from their friends. Due to the differing rate at which children develop, we have our preschool department divided into different age groups.

Preschool Room One and Two (3 to 4 years)

At this age children will be introduced to a couple hours of a school like structure based around our curriculum. Our structured pre-school time will be daily from 9:00 am – 11:00 am and run from September through May.

Pre-K Room One and Two (4 to 5 years)

At this age children will continue their daily structured pre-school time from 9:00 am – 11:00 am and it will also run from September through May.

School-Age

As children get older and more independent, they need new challenges. That’s why we offer a school-age program for before and after school care and enrichment programs that address the changing and more varied needs of growing school-age children. Reading, math, and science activities ensure that your child's mind is engaged and help create a lifelong love of learning and exploration.

We look forward to meeting you.
