​Toddlers (15-32 months)

We love our little ones! These toddlers are exploring and learning so much everyday. Our toddler program offers plenty of gross motor time for climbing, running, balancing and more. Our loving teachers help the children learn important social and self-help skills. The teachers model social and emotional skills such as sharing, using kind words, and helping each other. The children are learning to play alongside each other and develop language skills. The teachers use lots of music, dancing, art and sensory projects to keep the children engaged! We have two classes ages 15-24 months and 24-33months. Each class has small ratios with 4 children and one toddler certified teacher.

Preschool (2.9yrs-4yrs)

This Classroom is always busy, busy and lots of fun!!. At this age children are starting to become more independent and curious. They are learning how to play in group settings, and the teachers act as leaders in helping build important social skills like sharing and taking turns, as well as developing friendships. They are offered lots of hands-on and sensory activities to learn and explore the environment around them. From exploring a pumpkin, to finger painting, to parachute play, to pouring and mixing at the rice table, children are given many opportunities to develop their fine motor and gross motor skills.
