what we teach
In an early childhood setting everything that happens – each interaction, conversation and question posed – offers engaging possibilities for learning. Our teachers plan experiences for your child that offers opportunities across all of the learning domains. In each of our classrooms we focus on emotional and social development, diversity, language and literacy, mathematics and science, visual arts, music, physical development and sensory learning, health and safety, and Bible curriculum.
OUR PROGRAM
INFANTS
6 WEEKS-12 MONTHS
Our infant program provides the highest quality care in an environment that is designed specifically for them. While in our care, infants are stimulated through reading, music, exercise, outdoor time as well as facial and verbal mimicking to promote their language development.
Our infant room teachers care for each baby based on their individual schedule, including feeding and sleeping. They also set bi-weekly goals for each baby to support their developmental needs as they grow whether they’re learning to sit up, grasp toys, start eating solids and even learn to walk.
YOUNG TODDLERS
12-18 MONTHS
At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Crawling, 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 teachers are dedicated to helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. Before transitioning into this room, children are weaned off bottles and transitioned to taking one nap per day.
TODDLERS
18-30 MONTHS
In these classrooms, children will be introduced to self-help skills and developmentally appropriate activities such as painting, music, movement, socialization, and experimenting with various sensory activities. All of our classrooms follow a daily schedule that ensures each day be spent on developmentally appropriate and stimulating activities. While we usually follow a routine, we also take into consideration the mood and interests of the children on any given day.
YOUNG PRESCHOOL
2.5-3 YEARS
In our young preschool classroom your child will go through many stages of development. They will move from independent play into cooperative play, develop social & emotional skills and basic understanding of colors, shapes, math, science & language.
One of their biggest accomplishments will be going from diapering to fully potty trained. This is done by following the cues of your child when their body is physically and mentally ready to do so. Each child develops differently so be patient.
