Our early childhood program consists of three classrooms:
| Class |
Child to Staff Ratio |
The Toddler Class
For ages 18 months -age 2½ |
1:4 |
The Preschool Class
For ages 2½ - 3½ |
1:6 |
The Pre-K Class
For ages 3½ - 5½ |
1:9 |
 The
goal of our early childhood program is to provide
a supportive, enriching and caring environment
that allows children to play and learn at their
own developmental pace. Members
of our staff plan curriculum that is drawn from
the needs and interests of our children. There
is a balance between time for individual
choices and planned teacher - directed activities
to promote skill development. Curriculum
stimulates the emotional, cognitive, physical,
creative and social growth of the children in
our care.
In addition to our regular
program, we have two days out of the week for
special music and movement.
Enrollment is year-round in our Toddler, Preschool and Pre-K programs, though the program changes form in the summer months.
 We
continue to provide consistent, high quality,
full day child care for our families throughout
the year. In the warmer months, Toddler, Preschool
and Pre-K teachers plan together to create thematic
units that include: special guests, cooking, lots
of water play, arts and crafts, music, sports
and games, science exploration and other special
activities related to the themes. Field trips
and swimming at a local pool are also included
especially for the hot days of the summer.
Please call
if you have questions about any of our programs
for the young child,
aged 18 months to 5½ years. |
