During infancy, children develop motor skills, experience tummy time, explore and learn through interaction with their teachers. Our caregivers for Infants use this opportunity to work on stretches, leg movements, and ensure the children are practicing hand-eye coordination in order to prepare themselves for the next stages of early childhood development. As they reach late infancy, our caregivers work with children to develop those core muscles. They’re learning to crawl, express their emotions, and move their legs and arms. Cognitively, they are learning to identify and recognize family members and caregivers as they walk into the room. They’re even learning to produce those first adorable babbling sounds we love to hear.

Our Infants curriculum starts with regular playtime including tummy time and open-ended exploration, sensory stimulation, as well as nap, diapering routines, and feeding times that are tailored to each infant’s needs.

Our Young  Toddler curriculum is filled with stimulating, age-appropriate activities and materials that focus on early childhood development through hand-eye coordination, motor development and problem solving. By this stage, a child’s leg muscles are ready—once they stand up and take those first steps, they’re off and running, eager to explore. Our Toddler education program offers them the opportunity to do so in safety and also allows them to develop cognitive skills as they build language, graduate to one to two-word sentences, learn to hold a crayon and eat finger foods. This is also when our Toddlers acquire self-helping skills, such as communicating their needs and starting to pick up after themselves.

Our  Older Toddlers curriculum is filled with stimulating, age-appropriate activities and materials that focus on early childhood development through eye-hand coordination, gross-motor development, problem solving, and the beginning of a child’s potty-training journey. 

Older Toddlers still have the need to explore, but with far more to learn and experience—while still having lots of fun! Up until now, most of the play with Infants and Younger Toddlers has been individual. To get Older Toddlers more accustomed to social participation, we start each morning with group circle time.

This stage also marks the beginning of a child’s potty-training journey. Our caregivers frequently ask each child if they have to go to the restroom, and then guide them through the process. Before you know it, you have a potty-trained child.

Preschoolers  are growing up—potty trained and ready to conquer the world! At this stage, they absorb all of the information around them and are eager to master the new skills they acquire. That’s why we equip our Preschooler's classrooms with challenging equipment and toys to help satisfy the children’s appetite for knowledge.

Our Preschool curriculum is specifically developed for our three- to five-year-old little learners and provides a solid foundation for literacy, foundational language, numeracy, writing, and social-emotional skills through the introduction of additional proprietary programs.

We offer afterschool homework help and care for children 5 years to 12 years old. School pickup is available for the following schools:
