Infants
6 Weeks - 16 Months 1:4 Class Ratio
- Infants learn through active, hands-on play with activities that help them learn and master new skills. That’s why our classrooms are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of infants. Our infant’s daily schedules are based on the individual needs of the child. Infants spend their day playing with sensory objects and toys, enjoying stroller walks outside, finger painting, dancing, and more
Toddlers
1 - 2 Years 1:5 Class Ratio
- Toddlers love to move, discover, and play! We provide guidance as they develop social skills, gain independence, and master milestones. Toddlers spend their day exploring materials in the soft block area, art station, and outside for gross motor play. In addition, toddlers spend daily group time together enjoying painting, story time, themed lessons like letters, colors, seasons, shapes and more!
Toddlers
3 - 5 Years 1:10 Class Ratio
- Children join their peers in an interactive group experience to engage the brain and talk about weekly themes, calendar, weather, letters, shapes, colors and numbers. Children are encouraged to socialize in a variety of different learning centers such as dramatic play, art, sand and water, library, science and games. Children enjoy outside playtime with their friends as well.
