Part Time Daycares near Killingworth, CT

Infants

BeeCurious experiences are tailored to each infant's developmental stage and individual schedule. Educators observe and intentionally plan for each child's physical, social-emotional, and cognitive growth. The program immerses infants in a language-rich environment, with American Sign Language introduced through twenty core signs to support early communication, reduce frustration, and strengthen the bond between children and caregivers. Sensory exploration and daily outdoor experiences extend learning beyond the classroom.

Toddlers

The BeeCurious Curriculum supports active toddlers as they develop increased mobility and begin exploring the world around them. Children engage in hands-on learning centers - dramatic play, blocks, table toys, art, and a cozy area - with toys and props that change regularly to reflect current curriculum studies. Language development is central, with children immersed in daily communication and supported by American Sign Language using twenty core signs, plus additional signs tied to each theme of study. Music, movement, peer interactions, and group projects are woven throughout the day, with outdoor play twice daily extending curriculum experiences into well-equipped play spaces. Process-oriented art and sensory experiences encourage creativity and self-expression.

Infants

Our Infant room is designed to foster bonds and relationships with teachers and other babies while incorporating American Sign Language, music, and gross motor activities. Infants at Little Bear’s Adventure Center know they are safe and loved as they develop social, cognitive, and motor skills in a home-like setting.

Waddlers/Toddlers

Our Waddlers and Toddlers eagerly enter their room with smiles, toddling to their teachers and peers. Daily activities include American Sign Language, music, outdoor experiences, motor and muscle activities, sensorial experiences, and more. Waddlers and Toddlers follow a monthly umbrella theme and weekly sub-themes that enhance their academic skills while nurturing their social-emotional development.

Baby Nido (Infants)

Smiles, cries, coos, and babbles flood the classroom with expression—a classroom intentionally designed to offer a homelike environment that will nurture and soothe. Our educators inspire and motivate these quickly developing minds and bodies, observing and recording their growing interests recognized in their gazes and discoveries. At KLA Schools, our educators understand the importance of creating a trust-filled relationship with your baby. By quickly and reassuringly responding to your baby’s needs, our Baby Nido teachers support their growing sense of confidence and well-being. Making eye contact, talking in a calm and quiet voice, singing, and cuddling ensure that your baby is content and ready to take on the next stage in their development.

2 Year Olds

We offer opportunities for children to encounter challenges that promote individual identity and collaborative play. In addition to emotional growth, the physical growth of fine motor skills provides two-year-olds with greater manipulative control and an increased desire for independence. As your two-year-old discovers all the things they can do, they will want to communicate with others and to do more things on their own. Our educators understand this and use various sensorial, fine motor, and gross motor experiences to encourage your child’s literacy and comprehension skills and desire for independence. These experiences also allow your child to interact with peers, become more social and begin to develop emotional control.
