Learning is everywhere
We know that children learn best by "doing". Therefore, the activities the children participate in are concrete, hands-on, and encourage participation, but most of all fun, because we believe that learning is an exciting experience. Furthermore, we know that children also learn through play; because of this we do not under estimate its importance on a growing child's mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the children in our care receive lots of both free-play and structured-play throughout each day. Our intent is to provide each child in our care with a perfect balance of play-time and learning experiences throughout each day. Each child is given the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace in a setting that is challenging, enjoyable, and instills a lifelong love of learning.
Our Mission
Our goal is to make learning for all ages fun, by encouraging laughter and provoking smiles, ensuring that each child in our care feels safe, loved, and happy. For the various age groups of children in our care, we offer developmentally appropriate activities, designed to help the whole child grow and develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. We strive to foster creativity and to instill joy in learning; to provide a place where children are encouraged to play and challenged to learn. We feel that both you and your child will be as enthusiastic as we are about our program.
Infant/Young Toddler
Our goal is to stimulate and challenge your infant or toddler by constantly singing, talking, holding, and playing with them. We continually tell your child what we are going to do to them before we do it (i.e. diaper changes, feeding, etc.). This gives your infant or toddler a sense of control in their otherwise fully dependent lives. We always interact at their level, and every sound and movement your child makes is met with a warm response: a word, a smile, and a touch, thereby, nurturing a foundation for development and helping to enable your child to reach their full potential.
Your baby's first year of life is an amazing time, filled with discovery and enormous growth. Infants learn an abundance of new skills each day, such as how to imitate sounds and facial expressions, pulling, reaching and grasping objects, smiling and laughing. These milestones are not only key events of an infant's development, but they are also building blocks for abilities to come like crawling, walking, and talking. We build on these skills learned as an infant, by encouraging problem solving, cooperation, language, and social skills. We celebrate and embrace each developmental milestone with enthusiasm, persistence, and joy. As your child grows and becomes more independent, they begin to make the transition from an infant to a toddler.
Older Toddler/Preschooler
A toddler's growth and development is boundless. Their minds and bodies are literally sponges, soaking up every word and action presented to them. They are learning how to act and react towards every emotional and environmental stimulus. They are beginning to combine ideas and words into sentences and to better understand themselves and the world around them. Because of this new found freedom, they struggle with their feelings of independence versus dependence. They want to do everything by themselves, yet they also realize they need love, attention and help to accomplish these goals. Through patience and understanding we walk this fine line with your toddler, providing the guidance they need along with the independence they crave. As your child grows and makes the transition from toddler to preschooler we begin to incorporate structure into their day. Children of this age find security and comfort through consistency of care. We provide this for your child, with a reassuring routine and a familiar schedule. They are very curious and inquisitive by nature; asking many questions and expecting many more answers. We not only give them the answers they need, but also ask why, when, where, and how; thereby encouraging expressive conversation, fostering an imaginative and free-thinking child.
Throughout each day we practice on reaching, grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, climbing, throwing, catching, kicking, cooing and talking; whichever developmental stage your child happens to be in at the time.

Infant/Younger toddler
Age: 6 week -2 years
We have a very fun interactive program for our little ones. Our curriculum for infants works a lot on developing their movement skills and expanding their curiosity about the world. We introduce the infants to circle and let them sit in with the older children for circle and story time. As they turn two they will begin working on small hands on projects.
Older toddler/Preschooler
Age: 2 - 4
As the children progress we start working on letter, number, color and shape recognition. We also enforce small motor skills through the many projects we work on every week. We also work on our numbers and counting. We start working on the writing skills and prepare them for preschool. Each month we have a different theme about the world around them to show them all the things they can see and do.
