Infant Program
Report
Babies are not idle. From, the beginning, an infant learns about his or her environment by responding to faces, voices, and other stimuli. The infant also produces sounds and movements, which develop into language skills and sensor motor skills. One of the most important ways in which infants and toddlers can learn and develop is through play activities.
Toddler
Report
It should be recognized that the toddler group is a diverse one, and that each child is different. We should recognize and encourage some difference, while at the same time providing opportunities for the toddler to enhance his/her developmental progress. Goals have to be constantly re-assessed in terms of the current needs of the children in the classroom.
Nursery and Pre-K
Report
Our programs focus on continuing the development of the skills they have acquired as toddlers. The curriculum includes more challenges for the three's and four's. The teachers use a theme-based "whole language" program that provides numerous experiences to enhance the learning centers in each classroom.
Kindergarten
Report
Kindergarten is the culmination of the preschool experience. Each child is an individual and we work with each to develop their skills, expand their knowledge and encourage an approach to learning that is interesting and exciting. Increasing the child's social experiences by daily contact with others and learning to play fairly and in a cooperative manner by sharing and respecting the rights of playmates.
Daily Routine
Report
Our enriching creative curriculum program is very well-rounded in order to develop the whole child, to foster intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth and development in a comfortable, stimulating and challenging environment. Our early childhood teachers are always eager to guide, direct, assist and supervise your child, and are a constant source of positive praise and encouragement to your child.
