Developmentally Appropriate Programs

Infant Program (6 weeks-11 months)
Our infant program is based on the latest research showing the impact of early activities on brain development. We offer a bright, colorful environment to encourage exploration. Engaging playthings stretch young imaginations and develop motor skills. Shared stories and rhymes build early language skills.

Office

Toddler Program (12-23 months)
In our toddler programs, children enjoy dramatic play, creative movement, and artistic expression activities built around monthly themes. Hands-on activities in learning centers encourage child-directed cognitive development and social skills.

Early Preschool Program (24-36 months)
Our early preschool programs nurture curiosity, initiative, persistence, reasoning, and problem-solving – the essential elements of lifelong learning. Each day’s lessons include learning centers and group activities to provide children the opportunity to develop cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills.

Preschool Programs (3-5 years)
In our preschool programs, children explore their world with curiosity and delight. To ensure that our preschoolers develop the skills they need to enter school ready to learn, our thematic curriculum emphasizes early literacy skills, including book knowledge and appreciation, phonological awareness, alphabet recognition, print awareness, early writing, and oral language development.
