Growth Oriented Classrooms
Each Classroom has been tailored to meet your child's needs and help challenge them to learn and grow.
Infant Classrooms
6 weeks - 12 months
These classrooms follow the schedule that mom/dad/guardians provide. Upon starting care, we ask for a specific schedule written out of when the baby is eating, sleeping, and playing at home so we can follow that at daycare. Each infant has their own labeled bed, cubby, and diaper storage to help cut down on germs as well as ensure the correct items are used at all times. We promote as much time outdoors as possible, even at this young age. They are outside in strollers daily, weather permitting.
​
When baby becomes more mobile, they will advance to our next infant room. Here, they will begin to get into a routine as a group (with flexibility and understanding at every moment). Here they begin developing self-eating skills (both bottles and solids),
eating/exploring solid foods, communication skills, and gross motor skills. We see so much growth and development at this age!
Please note: Infants are only allowed to sleep with a non-weighted sleep sack and a binky not attached to any stuffy or clips.
Toddler Classrooms
12 months - 2.5 years
Here, kids learn more independence! They transition to one nap per day, begin weaning daytime bottles, learn to sit in toddler-sized chairs, and begin structured learning times. As most kids are walking at this age, outside time is now out on our turf playground and small fields with slides, riding cars, small climbers, and bucket swings. During the spring, summer, and fall months, we average 4-5 hours outside a day; we love bringing art, sensory, and circle time outside. Kids at this age participate in our music/movement class once a week.
Please note: Kids 18 months and older are allowed a blanket and stuffy during naptime.
Preschool Classrooms
2.5 - 5 years
In these three classrooms, kids lay the foundation for their school aged careers, working hard on dexterity, gross motor skills (jumping, climbing, running), fine motor skills (grabbing, pinching, writing, coloring), social emotional skills, relationship building, and self-help skills (potty training, putting clothes on, putting shoes on).
Children in these classes participate in extracurriculars throughout the year, including gymnastics, science class, and music/movement. Children who turn 4 on or before October 15th move to our full-day Pre-K program, and can stay with us all the way until they leave for Kindergarten in the fall.
Before and After School Care
5 - 12 years
Our before and after-school program runs all school year, including half-day care, full-day care on scheduled days, and some vacation care on a first-come, first-served basis (please see our yearly calendar). Even with the older kids, we continue to provide daily sensory, art, gross motor, and fine motor activities with an emphasis on outdoor time.
