Little Stars
Over the Moon Room
Ages 6 weeks to 18 months
Natural light enhances the infant room which is the largest room in our facility. Our infant room provides a warm and inviting atmosphere to help your little ones transition into our care. We provide age appropriate activities to strengthen muscles and improve gross motor skills. Small infants enjoy tummy time and older infants are guided along our climbing equipment.
We encourage verbalizations with story time and singing. Additional activities include arts and crafts, and outdoor play, weather permitting. Our goal is to encourage natural development and provide a sense of security provided by our nurturing staff.
Bunnies
McGregor’s Garden
Ages 18 months to 3 years old
Mornings begin with circle time and from there children are given many opportunities to participate, observe, and verbalize as they learn helpful skills. Literacy, math, and science are introduced through age appropriate curricula which fosters a love of learning.
Social and emotional skills are developing at a rapid pace, and a sense of independence is fostered in the children. To help with this, we place a large focus on potty training and other self help skills such as feeding and dressing. Weather permitting, children are allowed to play on our playground equipment or take walks on our beautiful grounds with members of our staff.
Good Eggs
The Wall
Ages 3 years old to 5 years old
Kindergarten readiness becomes essential in our 3-5 year old group. We introduce Sign Language to round out the children's experience with us and to help foster an appreciation for language and cultures. Art appreciation and exposure to great composers fosters creativity and cultural awareness.
As with the other age groups, outdoor play and hikes are essential to the care we provide. We connect discoveries made outside to our other curricula such as math and science. This helps to develop a love of all areas of learning.
After all of our activities, the children in our care build up quite an appetite and when meals are served the children are encouraged to converse and socialize. While preparation for further schooling is a focus of this age group, we never lose sight of the fact that each child is an individual.
