Toddler & Preschool
Toddler Care
Programs grow with your child in our carefully crafted Toddler Care classes! Children are guided into group activity and learn independent and self-help skills as they grow and develop amongst their peers. Our Toddler program offers experiential learning opportunities using the creative curriculum. Learning is based on skills identified in a research based curriculum which identifies and promotes social/emotional growth. Daily sheets are provided to parents for an overview of the day for their individual child.
Preschool Benefits
- Lays a foundation for cognitive functioning; behavioral, social and self-regulatory capacities; physical heath; and fosters school readiness.
- Leaves students well-prepared to enter Kindergarten.
- Emphasizes intellectual, social, emotional and physical development through play-based curriculum, which has been proven to be the best way for children to develop skills in all four areas.
- Structured group time for stories, singing, language development, science, cooking activities, and games are included each day.
