Junior Kindergarten

Your Junior Kindergartener will be taught by specially trained teachers using inquiry learning teaching methods. During small group instruction, teachers introduce subject matter specific content in literacy, math, science and social studies. Teachers guide students using inquiry-based learning techniques, so students not only understand the questions, but also, how they can find the answers, preparing your child for success in school. Your child will learn to use technology as a resource tool as he or she participates in problem solving activities reinforcing an understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). They will be exposed to Spanish as the language is incorporated throughout the day in songs and games to train the ear and the brain for additional language learning. Service learning and social studies projects will provide your child with an understanding of his or her community that will prepare your child to negotiate larger group and class sizes later experienced in the kindergarten classroom.

Toddlers

We understand toddlers are curious, busy, and full of personality. Our Toddler program channels that energy into meaningful learning. Through our Links to Learning curriculum, children explore colors, sizes, early science, and vocabulary while building social-emotional skills and confidence through play and gentle routines. Toddlers begin to participate in a consistent daily schedule, giving them a sense of structure and security. Teachers foster curiosity and independence by encouraging exploration, offering choices, and celebrating successes.

Beginners

In our Beginner program for ages 2–3, children build confidence and independence through self-help skills like dressing themselves and washing their hands. Teachers support big emotions and encourage curiosity with hands-on activities. Our Links to Learning curriculum builds vocabulary, introduces early math concepts, and helps children begin to use simple reasoning. Spanish is gently introduced, enriching their learning environment.

Toddlers

Our toddler program focuses on encouraging our children to explore the world around them. Our teachers work to help our children increase strength, mobility, and language skills, while also helping them learn self-help skills such as feeding themselves. Toddlers in our programs begin to learn social skills, such as sharing, through activities such as circle time and sensory games.
