The infant program caters to an environment that is setup to foster infant's physical, sensory, social, emotional and intellectual development.  Caregivers can be found singing, talking and reading to or cuddling, playing or rocking with the babies.  Their interaction is second to none in providing the positive sense of trust and security your baby needs.  The program is development based and presented in a warm, nurturing environment.

This program is designed to develop confidence, self-esteem, and a love of learning. Learning areas include dramatic play, creative arts, language development and communicating skills. 

The Twos program is used to develop the child's language, gross motor and small motor skills. Self-discipline, cooperation and creative expression are fostered through play activities.  Exploration of manipulative toys, books, indoor and outdoor play equipment and materials help to develop the child's curiosity, creativity and independence.  Art and music experiences with a variety of materials are an integral part of the program.

The creative Preschool Program is the core of the three year old curriculum.  Listening to stories, retelling events, dramatic play with puppets, music and movement experience help the child develop concepts and language skills necessary for future learning.  A variety of play and art materials are provided for the child's exploration.  Stringing beads, building blocks, painting, drawing, cutting and constructing with different materials foster the development of the child's small motor and program solving skills, and also enhance his sense of creativity and self-expression.

The four and five year old child is ready for the exploration of concepts in the areas of reading and math readiness, science and social studies, as well as the continued growth of language and physical development skills.  Utilizing the creative Pre-Kindergarten Program, the child is presented with a thematic, hands-on approach to learning new skills and developing new awareness and abilities.  Beginning phonics instruction is initiated when the child is ready for the skill. Child's curiosity, independence and self-confidence are fostered through the use of center play activities.  Manipulative toys, art, music experiences and field trips enhance the child's understanding and enjoyment of presented concepts.
