Our curriculum is based upon the developmental needs of the children. Teachers develop goals and learning objectives to meet these developmental needs. Planning will include activities that will promote the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of the children.
Infant Care (8 weeks - 16 months)
Our Infant Suite has been specifically designed to create a warm, secure, loving environment for your infant. Our caregivers are nurturing professionals trained in health, safety, and early childhood education. Through the use of educationally appropriate toys and materials, our loving staff will guide your baby through the important early stages of development. Our infant program is planned to include music and sensory experiences that will enhance your child’s brain development. We encourage our Moms and Dads to visit during the day, whether to feed their baby or simply to play with them. We believe in consistency and strive to set the child’s schedule to remain consistent with their parents’ schedule at home.
Toddlers (16 months - 2 years)
Caring for toddlers is about building relationships and making the most of everyday experiences. Although relationships are the core of our toddler program, we recognize that a comprehensive curriculum is vital to this age group. We utilize the nationally known Frog Street Curriculum. Frog Street is a year-round program that focuses on enhancing the simple joy of childhood while equipping caregivers to nurture curiosity through exploration. Toddlers learn through sensory experiences that enhance their cognitive, language, motor, and social skills. Our program encourages the teacher to work individually with each child to help them experience the initial stages of social interaction, language development, and learning through discovery.
Two's (2 years - 3 years)
Two’s are anxious to learn. Your child will discover something new each day under the caring eyes of our experienced teachers. They will learn to socialize with others and begin to take care of themselves independently. Our twos classroom also utilizes the Frog Street curriculum. The key features of Frog Street include activity choices organized around five developmental domains. They are Language Development, Cognitive Development, Social Emotional Development, Physical Development and Approaches toward Learning. Weekly schedules which outline specific learning concepts are posted for parents to see. Our stimulating program encourages two-year-old's to develop their minds and bodies in a safe and healthy environment.
Preschool (3 years - 5 years)
Our preschool incorporates the STREAM in3 curriculum. STREAM in3 (in3 referencing Integrated, Intentional, and Interactions) is one of the newest curriculums on the market. It was developed by researchers at the Curry School of Education at The University of Virginia. This curriculum follows the CLASS model style of teaching. STREAM in3 is an innovative curriculum that allows children to think big, solve problems and explore their world. This sets them up for success in kindergarten and beyond. STREAM in3 allows for child-led activities that follow their ideas and interest as well as fosters creative thinking and learning. Children experience large and small group activities along with individual assistance while exploring this curriculum.
School Age (5 years - 12 years)
Our before and after school program is designed to complement the structured day of elementary school. We provide a relaxed mix of learning and recreation, with a variety of activities such as games, sports, arts and crafts, and use of large playground. Our program is recreational in format with staff-led activities and supervision to foster teamwork skills. We have a full-court gymnasium and an indoor jungle gym for active indoor play. In addition, homework time is provided upon parent's request. Classrooms are grouped by grade level, giving every child the opportunity to spend time with their friends and enjoy age-appropriate activities. Our school-age program is also offered during school breaks, holidays, and teacher in-service days so you never have to worry about being left without childcare.
