Early Care and Education Programs
Parents agree that the selection of quality and consistent infant and toddler care can be a challenge. It's a critical time in a child's development, and parents want the very best care for their child! That's why a comfortable, nurturing environment full of personal attention is what parents will find in our infant and toddler classrooms. Our teachers emphasize cleanliness, safety, age-appropriate activities, and healthy eating habits. Our Infant-Toddler Curriculum is used to foster the development of basic trust, verbal and non-verbal communication skills. These include sign language, cognitive, social and emotional skills, and physical growth. Parents are recognized as an integral part of their child's total development. For this reason we keep open lines of communication between parents and our teachers. Our Infant and Toddler Early Care and Education Programs serve children ages six weeks to 24 months. Space is limited in these year-round programs as a result of small group sizes and caregiver-to-child ratios. Parents are encouraged to contact our Principal about availability in these programs.
Preschool for Two's and Young Three's
Your child will be delighted with his or her first school experience! We use the New Century Child Development: Two's Learning Series, which is specifically designed to develop children's oral language, self-help, social, cognitive, motor and physical skills. Activities in this program focus on the natural curiosity and energy of two and young three-year old children. Play is viewed as a vehicle for learning and creative thought. Teachers capitalize on your child's desire to engage in hands-on learning. A combination of teacher and child-directed lessons stimulate your child's growing mind. Parents are encouraged to talk about their child's daily needs and work with teachers to develop an individual Toilet Training Plan. Space is limited in this year-round program as a result of small group sizes and staff-to-child ratios. Parents are encouraged to contact our Principal about availability in this program.
Pre-K Programs for Three's and Four's
Half-Day and Full-Day Programs
Parents, you can stop looking for an ideal preschool program! We have separate, half-day and full-day classrooms to meet both the needs of you and your child. Teachers implement the New Century Child Development: Pre-K Learning Series with school-readiness as its primary curriculum goal. Traditional and Montessori educational materials give your child a new century advantage. A vast array of specialized learning labs and activities promote language development, mathematics and science concepts, art and music appreciation, computer and technology awareness, and foreign language skills. Phonemic Awareness is introduced through meaningful and functional print activities that promote children's understanding of written language. Parents are encouraged to talk with our teachers about their child's progress to further their child's learning between home and school. Children must be toilet-trained in order to attend one of these programs. Upon enrollment, please let us know if you wish to place your child in a classroom with a friend. We will make an effort to fulfill your request, however, space is limited in these popular school year classrooms. Extended-Day and Summer Camp are available to parents who need care beyond school day hours and/or year-round care and educational programs.
