Development Groups

"I am so tiny in a brand new world. Everything around me is new and scary. I enjoy being held, snuggled, and loved. I feel more comfortable when my environment is calm, consistent and familiar."

"I am growing and changing so fast, everyday I learn a little more abut my world. Whether I am cuddling with a story, bouncing up and down or crawling around exploring, I love to learn. Everyday is a new adventure."

We know the importance of a safe, loving environment for your brand new baby. We feel that each baby is a special part of our family as well as yours. Open communication helps us to create a schedule that is perfect for your baby, both at home and at school. Creating a warm stable atmosphere helps your baby feel secure while you're away.

We encourage your baby's natural curiosity to learn. Our experienced care-givers encourage this development by reading books, singing songs and playing everyday. With toys to promote each new stage, your baby will grow and develop through every activity.

"I am a very curious explorer. I love to run, climb and examine everything in my environment. I am also learning how things work. Whether it is filling and dumping containers, scribbling with crayons or playing on the telephone -- I am very busy!"

"I am beginning to understand" your words and directions, although I don't always follow them. I learn to say new words every day, but my favorite is 'NO!' I love listening to stories, songs and finger plays. Give me some time I'll read a book to you."

We love to explore with your toddler! We help their physical development by offering them plenty of space to run and climb outside. Activities from finger painting to building a block tower help keep little hands entertained and excited.

We think learning is fun. Reading books about animals, vehicles, and simple objects helps aid in language development. Singing songs and repeating finger plays teaches your child basic concepts like colors, counting and body parts. We love being a part of your child's growing mind and world!

"I am very active, inquisitive and independent. I absorb information through everything that I do. I want to explore the world and know how everything works. I am often excited to be a part of group activities, but I still need a lot of one on one attention."

"I am two years old and like to do everything myself! My language is developing rapidly, and it is easier for me to tell you what I want and need right now. Although my patience and sharing skills are still developing, I enjoy watching and joining play with other children."

We help guide your toddler from infancy to preschool. Our multi-age environment offers the opportunity to learn new skills that help toddlers feel comfortable and confident every day. We take the time to encourage independence through activities that model the preschool students. Your toddler's new language and sharing skills are reinforced when they help 'teach' a younger toddler or peer.

We are as excited to teach as your toddler is to learn! Our teachers and children play and learn together everyday. Through sensory activities, imaginative play, early literacy, and number games, we captivate the excitement and energy of your toddler in an environment where play is learning.

"I am very excited to be going to school! Everyday I learn more about the people in my environment. Playing with my friends is sometimes a little challenging since I am still learning about their emotions and feelings. I am excited to see my friends at school, but some days I am nervous to leave my mom and dad behind."

"I can't wait to grow up. I want to know how and why things work. I want to read the paper like Daddy and write shopping lists like Mommy. Preschool is a great adventure where I can develop my reading, writing and creative art skills. I feel so good about myself when I learn new skills like counting, writing my name and tying my shoes."

We understand your child's need to be a 'big kid' while remaining in a loving, nurturing environment. Our multi-age classroom and low teacher-child ratio allows your child to develop a variety of relationships that help strengthen confidence and promote a healthy self image. We take the time to teach our students about their emotions, how to express their needs, and solve everyday conflicts with their peers.

We know how important it is for your child to feel grown up. We offer our students opportunities to develop responsibility and be helpers in the classroom. Our small group learning environment allows us to meet your child at his/her skill level and teach in a way that meets his/her individual need. In addition to writing and reading basic words and letters, we offer time for creative movements and arts, outdoor and free play. Throughout the day your preschooler can get involved in a group activity, read a book, play make-believe with a friend, assist a teacher, learn to solve a conflict or take time to work independently on a new skill.
