INFANTS

Individual cribs, clean and bright surroundings, large-picture windows close to the ground promote infants to crawl, stand-up and walk around.  Daily Information Sheet makes for a seem-less transition.  Age-appropriate activities promote cognitive and social development in a warm, nurturing environment.

With a child sized bathroom attached to the classroom, your two-year old is met with enthusiasm when it’s time for potty-training.  And a Toddler Playground just out the classroom door, fun is around every corner.  A learning environment that keeps your two year old’s fingers busy and their mind engaged and happy. 

 

PRESCHOOL

The bright and cheerful classrooms are complete with computer stations, discover areas, large picture windows, and child-sized furniture.  Included in the curriculum are swimming in our indoor pool, music lessons once a week, and Kindergarten preparation.  Our daily activities develop your child’s academic skills while your child enhances his or her social skills.
