Infant Care

Our Infant Care Program is committed to making the first transition away from home natural and easy for both you and your child.

Toddler Program

Our Toddler Program is specifically tailored to the needs of your busy toddler. We lovingly nurture your child through important early milestones, from “self-help” learning skills such as hand washing and putting away their toys, to socializing and forming first friendships.

Preschool Program

Toddlers

The Infant/Toddler program is built on strong partnerships with families to provide individualized, nurturing care that supports each child’s unique temperament, developmental pace, and interests. We implement the research-based Program for Infant Toddler Care (PITC), ensuring high-quality care through primary teachers, small group sizes, and continuity of care until age three. By fostering cultural continuity and including children with varying needs, our program creates a secure, supportive environment where infants and toddlers thrive. Each child is paired with a primary teacher who tailors care routines—such as feeding, napping, and toileting—to their individual rhythms, ensuring seamless transitions between home and school. Our thoughtfully designed learning environments encourage active exploration, relationship-building, and early problem-solving. With small muscle activity areas, sensory exploration zones, and indoor/outdoor motor play spaces, children engage with age-appropriate materials like textured balls, water play, and climbers. Creative expression is fostered through music, painting, and pretend play, allowing young learners to develop confidence and curiosity. Our dedicated teachers provide a warm, enriching setting where infants and toddlers grow through meaningful interactions and hands-on experiences.

Preschool

The Catalyst Kids preschool program fosters remarkable growth in children’s physical, social-emotional, and cognitive development through hands-on exploration, meaningful interactions, and teacher-guided learning. Rooted in the HighScope and Reggio Emilia approaches, our program is further guided by California’s Desired Results assessment process, Learning Foundations, and Curriculum Frameworks. Our rich and dynamic learning environment reflects the unique interests of each child, offering materials and spaces that support foundational skills in literacy, math, science, the arts, and social studies. With safe, sensory-friendly classrooms, children engage in small and large group activities, hands-on learning experiences, and independent exploration that promote confidence and school readiness. A structured yet flexible daily routine helps children feel secure and supported, with key elements including Plan-Do-Review, small group instruction, and circle time to foster decision-making, collaboration, and critical thinking. Our research-based Pathways to Literacy curriculum ensures children receive focused, engaging instruction that builds early literacy and math skills. Outdoor play is an essential part of each day, encouraging exploration, movement, and a connection with nature. As children transition to kindergarten, our program collaborates with elementary schools and families to ensure a smooth, confident progression. With strong family partnerships, an open-door policy, and ongoing communication, Catalyst Kids creates a nurturing environment where children develop the skills they need for future academic success.
