Luminous Learners Childcare

Babies experience rapid physical growth and brain development during the first two years of life, and they use their senses and motor skills to help them comprehend the world around them. Cognitive development is fostered by the environment, nourishment, care, and stimulation to which a baby is exposed. We are committed to providing positive environments which stimulate brain development, so infants have plenty of opportunities to develop their motor skills and explore with all their senses.

Our Toddler Program is specifically tailored to the needs of your busy toddler. We lovingly nurture your child through important early milestones, from “self-help” learning skills such as hand washing and putting away their toys, to socializing and forming first friendships. We continue to teach and use Baby Sign Language® as a form of communication through actions while our toddlers further develop their verbal language skills. And, as in all our programs, we make learning fun!

We have developed a happy, safe environment that makes learning fun and builds confidence, instilling a love of learning in each child. Social, emotional, and intellectual growth occur quickly at this stage and it’s important to surround your child with positive learning opportunities. Our preschool program is designed to stimulate your child’s curiosity and train him or her to learn effectively and confidently. Our specialized preschool curriculum uses rhymes, stories and hands-on activities to encourage those first steps toward building the foundational skills for reading, writing, math, and science. Social awareness is also an important stage of development for children at this age. We encourage our preschoolers to respect and be kind and considerate of others, to listen and to follow instructions.

High quality school age programs can benefit your child in elementary school and long afterward. Research indicates that effective after school care programs can improve school attendance, classroom behavior, and academic aspirations. These characteristics can bolster academic success through high school and well into college. Spending time in before and after school programs also lays the foundation for healthy lifestyles, from good fitness and nutrition habits to a reduced likelihood of drug use and criminal behavior. When children are surrounded by opportunities to make good choices in positive and supportive environments, they’re more likely to make better choices for the rest of their lives.
