Programs
Infants
In the first months of life, our youngest students are eating, napping, playing and exploring—a rhythm that will continue through the year as they tackle milestones. Dedicated and nurturing staff are trained to attend to each child’s cues to provide individualized care including nap times on their own personalized schedules. Our small class sizes, visiting infant nurse consultant, and attentive teachers allow us to keep a close eye on the development and milestones of each child and support them as they prepare for their journey into toddlerhood.
Toddlers
We want to inspire children’s natural curiosity while nurturing their desire for independence. Our toddler program gives children the opportunity for daily hands-on learning and exploration. They experiment by building with a multitude of open-ended materials, trying out various styles of art and learning social and communication skills in a supportive environment. Fine and gross motor skill, cognitive and language development and critical social skills are practiced so they can participate in positive social interactions.
Preschool
A positive preschool experience will set the stage for a lifetime of curiosity and cognitive development. We are proud to provide a program that nurtures discovery, out-of-the-box thinking and love for learning. The core of our curriculum is based around a weekly science theme that incorporates math, phonics, sensory exploration and open-ended building skills. They receive an introduction to letters and their corresponding sounds, letter building, tracing and writing, as well as fine motor skills on a daily basis. The preschool program also includes a weekly music lesson from a professional musician.
Pre-K
Children often make big leaps in their communication and social skills during the pre-kindergarten year. They continue to work on waiting their turn, sharing and ‘using their words’ to communicate. These skills prepare them for the big world of elementary school and gives them the confidence they need in social interactions. Our STEM-based pre-kindergarten program prepares students for kindergarten while providing an engaging and nurturing environment where children’s natural curiosity drives their learning!
Kindergarten
We believe that understanding is more important than memorizing, strategizing is more important than following rote directions, and that enjoying the process of learning is the most important skill we can impart in kindergarten. Our math, reading and science curriculum are all chosen because they provide hands-on learning and practical life application in addition to the traditional pen-and-paper practice drills. We expect children to work at the grade level of “kindergarten +”, meaning that we push children beyond their comfort level but also acknowledge that every child learns at their own speed. We give children a chance to continue excelling and exploring beyond a traditional kindergarten experience.
