Our Staff
Infants:
Our qualified and loving staff will care for your infant and provide a safe and secure environment for them to grow and learn. We hope to become an extension of your home as we meet your infant’s individual and developmental needs.
Your child’s health and safety are our number one priority. In our infant room, toys and equipment are sanitized daily and personal linens are washed (at least!) once a week.
Toddlers, Twos, and Transition:
With a curriculum based on senses, we hope to show your child how fun it is to learn! Your child will be encouraged to explore their environment, make new friends, and become independent learners!
Use of the Creative Curriculum allows us to focus on the areas of child development (Cognitive, Physical, Social/Emotional, and Language) by introducing children to new concepts in their environment. For example, children in the Toddlers, Twos and Transition classrooms are encouraged to use their words to express their wants, needs, and feelings. Developmentally, the child may not be able to verbally express these thoughts. We build upon the sign language children learn as infants to help grow and expand their vocabulary capabilities.
Preschool:
We promote early learning through the Creative Curriculum. This puts our focus on the areas of Cognitive, Physical, Social/Emotional, and Language Development. Each week, children explore a different letter of the alphabet through learning centers, science and math activities, music, sensory tables and much more! Our Pre K-3 and Pre K-4 Programs come in Full Day and Half Day options.
School Age:
School Age children will enjoy afternoons packed with homework help, activities and adventure through free play!
We also offer care during extended breaks from school. Children will spend time cooking, doing art projects, service learning, playing games, and developing friendships!
