Nursery Program: Infant and Toddler Care

Our infant and toddler program serves children between the ages of 6 weeks and 2 years. We offer three care centers/classrooms to allow children to explore the world around them in an environment that has been set up to offer enriching experiences that nurture each child’s development. Each child is given the care, time, and space to explore at his or her own needs. Our teachers are responsive and responsible facilitators whose loving guidance encourages, educates, and protects the children in their care.

Preschool Classes – Sun Bear, Koala, and Panda

Our preschool classrooms serve children ages 2 years to pre-kindergarten. We offer three age-appropriate classrooms that provide experiences that encourage the children’s social, emotional, intellectual, physical, creative, and spiritual growth. Activities and lessons are age-appropriate and based on the individual needs and interests of the child. Each child is given the time and space to explore concepts at his or her own developmental needs/level. Because “play” is the central activity of childhood and of our program, concepts such as math, science, and language arts are taught through fun hands-on activities.
