  • ROOM A – INFANT/JR TODDLER ROOM PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS 6 WEEKS-23 MONTHS

    The daily program for our littlest students includes age appropriate development of social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Lesson plans are designed for each child’s individual development while reaching milestones associated with fine motor skills, gross motor skills and language development. American Sign Language is used to enhance communication with the children as well as music and play to ensure their busy, growing minds continue to grow!

    We offer a safe, nurturing nursery environment which allows parents to build a strong relationship with the teachers. This relationship ensures children are growing at their own pace and connection between home and school is seamless.

  • ROOM B – PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS 15 MONTHS – 35 MONTHS

    The daily program for these active students provides experiences that promote the individual child’s growth and well-being in the development of social and emotional growth, gross and fine motor skills, sensory learning, language, cognition, and positive self-concept. Lesson plans are designed with the individual developmental goals of the children in the classroom. Since our little learners do not have full verbal abilities to tell you about their day, each child has a daily sheet for parents which will include daily care, as well as anecdotal notes that are individualized to their accomplishments. Students in this class are moved during the school year to the next classroom as social/emotional/academic and/or age permits. Max 15-16 children per class.
