Curriculum

We believe children learn best through hands-on exploration of the environment. Age-specific programming is based on a child-initiated, play-based curriculum. Teachers plan activities based upon their observations of children's' interests and abilities.

• Written report received daily
• Teachers specialized in infant care

Toddler

• Your child will be invited to participate in group activities that promote development across all domains
• Self-help skills and social skills are learned through daily routines
• Daily written report upon parent request
• You will receive a written assessment at the end of each semester

Preschool
