Our Teachers
Curriculum
Indoor and Outdoor Activities, Creative Crafts, Music and Games, Nutritious Family-Style Meals and Snacks, Group Sharing, Individual Pursuits, Story Time and Rest, and many opportunities to socialize and explore. Children have centers that they choose to play in; which include dress-up, tools area, art area, kitchen area and puzzle area. We encourage children to play with other children with a positive attitude. We have a daily schedule that our teachers follow which is posted in the classrooms for parents to look at and see what their child is doing at any given time. The pre-school class has a different theme every month; they have a parent’s luncheon once a month and we encourage our parents to participate. A newsletter is available to the parents the 1st week of every month in the pre-school class. The projects that the pre-school children do involve poster paint, gluing, coloring, markers, and cutting out objects. The toddler room does a project every day; they learn their colors, numbers, motor skills and ABC’s. They sing songs and look at books. There is also a daily schedule posted in the toddler room. The infant room has no schedule as infants require on-demand care and are engaged in play and rest-times exercise and quiet activities throughout the day as-needed
Philosophy
Our Philosophy
We strive to provide a program based on the natural development of children including activities to stimulate a child’s innate creativity, enjoyment of learning, and exploration of the world. A child’s first experiences away from home should be fun, without stress, a time to gain self-confidence, and grow socially and emotionally. We look for opportunities to encourage a child’s curiosity and imagination.
Location
