Program

INFANTS AND TODDLERS
This program emphasizes meeting the needs of the individual child ages 8 weeks to 24 months. Nurturing, loving, stimulating, and responsible care is provided. The staff works with the parents to develop an optimum schedule for the child. Toys and materials are provided to challenge, promote discovery, open up exploration, and bring about the development of new skills. A 1:3.5 teacher-child ratio makes careful observation and charting possible.

PRESCHOOLERS 2 AND 3 YEARS OLD
For preschoolers, ages 2 through 3 years old, the program emphasizes age-appropriate activities and experiences that will enhance spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development. We strive to help each child develop a healthy self-concept. Every child's creativity and individuality are encouraged and respected. The classrooms are staffed with a 1:7.5 teacher-child ratio, making teaching within quality care possible.

PRE-KINDERGARTENERS
While there's no perfect formula that determines when children are truly ready for kindergarten. Here is a checklist to see how many skills your child will work towards  mastering in our pre-k room: count to ten; cut with scissors; trace basic shapes; speak understandably; identify some alphabet letters; recognize rhyming sounds; listen to stories without interrupting; button shirts, pants, coats and zip up zippers; sort similar objects by color, size and shape; look at pictures and then tell stories; understand actions have both causes and effects; and recognize groups of one, two, three, four, and five objects. The pre-k teachers want to encourage children to be independent, capable, and have an eagerness to learn. This room has a 1:8 teacher-child ratio.

CHILDREN'S SCHEDULE
The daily schedule begins with worship, there is indoor and outdoor playtime, teacher directed learning, art, music, learning centers, creative experiences and story times. Each room develops its own curriculum based on the child's individual needs.
