Our administrative and teaching professionals are carefully screened and selected for their experience, education, and ability in working with young children. All of our teachers are trained in the area of early childhood education and certified by the Department of Early Education and Care. All staff members are CPR, First Aid, and OSHA certified and are required to continue their education and training in the area of early childhood. Our staff is encouraged to work individually with each child and to provide daily feedback to parents. Activities are interspersed with morning and afternoon snacks, lunch, and an afternoon rest period. Families are always welcomed and encouraged to attend any of our special activities and events.
Infant Program, 6 weeks to 15 months - Our Infant teachers
have created warm and inviting classrooms where your baby is loved and
cherished. Each Infant room is equipped with a safe and secure toddling
area where older babies can pull themselves up, crawl in a large open area
or explore their image in the viewing mirror. Brain development is paramount
at this age and parents will find teachers engaged in constant communication
with their little ones.
Toddler Program, 15 months to 33 months - Safe, warm, and inviting classrooms are created for the energy filled and constantly on the go Toddler. Parents will find the climbing and riding area in our Toddler rooms engaging and supporting of the young child's physical development. For the older Toddler, “Potty” training, following simple directions, and learning to dress himself/herself are concepts introduced to promote the mastering of self help skills.
Preschool Program, 2 years, 9 months to 3 years, 11 months - Preschool children are eager to build social independence and engage in peer relationships. Our preschool classrooms are created with a variety of learning centers where the early learner can demonstrate his ability to make decisions and participate with his friends in freedom of choice situations. The Preschool teachers use the classroom environment to create and implement developmentally appropriate curriculum following the guidelines for Preschool Learning developed from the Department of Education Curriculum Frameworks. Young children learn by doing and need to be provided with many opportunities to explore and experiment with concepts through play and hands-on activities in their natural environment.
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, 4 to 6 years - Our teachers
provide curriculum designed with opportunities for the early learner to
participate in experiences that provide foundations for learning. The Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten curriculum promotes active involvement by
children in their own learning process, recognizing that young children learn
through play, active manipulation of the environment, concrete experiences,
and communicating with peers and adults. The early learner learns expressive
vocabulary and articulation skills as they participate in their imaginary restaurant; making menus, taking orders, preparing and serving food. The young
student learns ways of representing numbers and relationship among numbers
when they use their fingers to act out “The Five Little Monkeys jumping on the
Bed.” The early learner becomes the “Scientist” when he predicts what will
happen to the play-dough when left uncovered, or comes to understand that
living things go through predictable life cycles by observing the life cycle of
a caterpillar found in the playground.
