Infant Classroom
The Hungry Caterpillar
Ms. Hannah
The earliest months are filled with remarkable growth and discovery. Our infants program is thoughtfully designed for babies from their first months through the exciting stage when they begin moving independently. Each infant receives loving, nurturing, individualized care and attention. We focus on building strong emotional connections while supporting physical, cognitive, and social development through age appropriate activities, sensory exploration, music, movement, and play. We wish for them to build early skills and discover the world around them. Our attentive caregivers work closely with families to ensure each infant’s needs are met with encouraging growth, confidence, and independence. Our bright, spacious classroom is designed with babies in mind, offering cozy spaces for rest, colorful materials for exploration, and plenty of opportunities for interaction, movement, and connection.
Early One Year-Old Classroom
Dr. Seuss
Ms. Donna
As babies become more mobile, their world becomes bigger - and so does their curiosity. This classroom is designed for babies confidently moving on their own and beginning to take those exciting first steps toward independence. Our program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where they are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop independence. At this age, babies are naturally curious and eager to learn about the world around them. Through hands-on activities, repetition, sensory play, music, movement, storytelling, and interactive experiences, we support their cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language development. We focus on building communication skills, encouraging positive social interactions, introducing simple routines, and help them develop confidence as they reach important developmental milestones. We understand that every child develops at their own pace, and we provide individualized attention, encouragement, and guidance to help each of them thrive.
Older One Year-Old Classroom
Pete the Cat
Ms. Jelisa
The toddler years are full of firsts. Our program is designed for children who are walking confidently and ready to take their next step toward independence. At this stage, toddlers are becoming increasingly curious, active, and eager to do things on their own. Through hands-on learning and early academics, they discover sensory exploration, music, movement, art, and interactive play. We encourage children to develop confidence, creativity, language development, and problem-solving skills. They discover textures and materials, practice emerging fine motor skills, and are encouraged to make choices. We introduce more structured routines, simple directions, early learning concepts, and age appropriate group activities while allowing plenty of opportunities for exploration and free play. We also place a strong emphasis on helping children identify and express their emotions, develop positive interactions with peers, and practice intentional independence.
Early Two Year-Old Classroom
Ocean
Ms. Milenca
Our younger twos focus on encouraging independence, building confidence, and developing important social, emotional, and early academic skills in a fun, nurturing, and engaging environment. At this age, children are becoming increasingly independent, curious and eager to explore the world. Through hands-on activities, creative art, sensory play, music, movement, and interactive learning experiences, we introduce foundational concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and early problem-solving skills. A strong emphasis is placed on language development, encouraging children to expand their vocabulary, communicate their needs, and begin expressing their thoughts and feelings. We also focus on social-emotional development by helping children recognize emotions, practice taking turns, develop friendships, supporting potty training progress and learn to navigate interactions with peers.
Older Two Year-Old Classroom
Curious George
Ms. Cecilia
The older two's classroom focuses on preparing children for the next stage of their educational journey by fostering greater independence, confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. Children are becoming more expressive, independent, and socially engaged. We build on these emerging skills through a balance of structured learning activities, hands-on exploration, creative play, music, movement, and interactive experiences. We reinforce foundational academic concepts such as letter recognition, numbers, counting, shapes, colors, sorting, and early literacy skills in fun, developmentally appropriate ways. Social-emotional development is also a major focus. Children are encouraged to express their feelings, discover friendships, practice sharing, taking turns, follow classroom expectations, and begin solving conflicts with teacher guidance. We place a strong emphasis on self-help skills including handwashing, cleaning up, dressing with assistance, and supporting potty training progress.
Pre-K Three Year-Old Classroom
Rainbow Fish
Ms. Shelby
Preschool is a wonderful time of growing independence, big imaginations and even bigger questions. We focus on building a strong academic, social, and emotional foundation while fostering independence, confidence, and lifelong love of learning. At this stage, children are becoming increasingly curious, expressive, and eager. Our curriculum introduces and reinforces foundational academic skills, including letter recognition, phonological awareness, numbers, counting, shapes, patterns, and early writing skills. Through engaging activities, storytelling, music, art, and interactive
lesions, we encourage children to develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving skills. Social-emotional development remains a key priority. We help children build friendships, communicate their feelings, practice cooperation, develop empathy, and learn to navigate challenges with increasing independence. We also emphasize routines, listening skills, following multi-step directions, participating in group discussions, and developing age appropriate responsibilities.
VPK Four Year-Old Classroom

Our voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program is designed to prepare children for a successful transition into kindergarten by building a strong foundation in academic, social, emotional, and independent learning skills. Our curriculum focuses on early literacy, phonological awareness, letter recognition, letter-sound relationships, early writing, number recognition, counting, patterns, science, and problem-solving. A strong emphasis is placed on developing language and communications skills, encouraging children to express their ideas, ask questions, participate in group discussions and build confidence in their abilities.

We focus heavily on essential kindergarten readiness skills, including following multi-step directions, completing age-appropriate tasks, participating in classroom routines, caring for personal belongings, developing
responsibility, and believing in their own abilities.
