Rolie Polies - Infants 6 weeks to 24 months
Infants ages 1-12 months:
Our infant group has a very flexible routine. Because each child's schedule is so different at this age, it is not in their best interest to have any specific routine as a group. The infant program is designed to foster your baby's awareness and natural curiosity about the world around him.
Mini-Toddler ages 12 to 18 months:
In the mini-toddler group we still follow the child's schedule and the daily routine encompasses each child's own needs. The children begin to focus on developing independent skills such as learning to use a cup, eating using a plate and utensils, and using generally accepted table habits. Children in this program begin to explore their environment more freely.
Toddler ages 18 to 24 months:
The toddler group has a basic routine throughout the day but the schedule is loose. A primary focus is on self-help skills such as dressing themselves and choosing activities. Toilet training often begins at this stage. Both individual and group play is beneficial to your child.
Our Classrooms
We are open Monday - Friday, 7am - 6pm
Bumblebees - 2's & 3's
In the preschool room, your child's day will be filled with many wonderful learning and fun experiences. We not only help get your child ready for school, we help them get ready for life with mastery of self-help skills such as potty training, dressing themselves and taking responsibility for their actions.
In the morning we have Circle Time which focuses on learning through a larger group instruction followed by related enrichment activities for small groups and individuals in the various learning centers. Afternoons still have structure, but are more open-ended, with different activities for your child to choose from. In the classroom, the learning centers invite your child to explore and imagine while developing school readiness skills. Learning centers include Language Arts, Writing, Library, Math, Science, Art, Dramatic Play and Blocks.n the morning we have Circle Time which focuses on learning through a larger group instruction followed by related enrichment activities for small groups and individuals in the various learning centers.

For our Pre-k class we are utilizing a curriculum that uses captivating songs and familiar tunes which feature predictable text, rhyming words, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Instructional strategies incorporate balanced literacy with Read-Aloud and Shared Reading, Shared and Independent Writing, Phonemic Awareness, and Learning Centers for independent practice. Mathematical vocabulary, rhyming words, and comprehension questions link literacy skills with each lesson.
