Toddlers

By the time our little ones turn two, they’ve mastered walking and are ready to find their voice. Circle time becomes even more interactive, with active student participation. Hands-on learning and child input make the experience more engaging and exciting. They are introduced to colors and shapes, while also developing important social skills like sharing and learning to care for others. At this stage, two truly is terrific!

Nido

Nido, which means “nest” in Italian, perfectly describes the nurturing setting for our youngest learners. At this stage, small children are seen as explorers and scientists. The multi-sensory navigations of their environment, the spontaneity of observing, the desire to experience life with and through their body and the pleasure of enjoying human development in a natural way are the focus of our curriculum. A successful early learning environment fosters a community marked by meaningful relationships among young children and the adults in their lives—parents, teachers, and caregivers. These connections flourish through shared learning experiences in nature and through emotional connections. The community cultivates and sustains developmentally appropriate conditions that enable children to optimize their individual potential. From this perspective, the cultivation of purposeful practices, presenting thoughtfully prepared environments that challenge children, emerges as the ideal blueprint for the development of positive school experiences for children and their families.

Preschool

As children transition from the Nido program to our Preschool program, they enter a phase of the curriculum that builds upon on their expanded vocabulary. Collaboration and communication become the cornerstones of all activities. Within this framework, children are prompted to engage in small peer groups, fostering the exploration, design, and presentation of their projects. This approach encourages learners to formulate hypotheses, investigate processes, and draw conclusions, empowering them to articulate and defend ideas, building confidence in their ability to formulate individual opinions and become the authors of their own learning journeys. Explorations are based upon long term projects throughout the year, allowing students to build upon previously mastered concepts, deepening their ability to learn. Through these interdisciplinary projects, children engage in foundational learning skills such as math, science, social studies, and language arts in meaningful ways.

Toddler

Playing is the brains favorite way to learn. Where toddlers can develop essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills, laying a strong foundation for future academic success. We know that your toddler can learn a lot in their early years just by exploring and playing with other kids. Our teachers support this learning through daily routines and activities that focus on health, physical development, social-emotional skills, language, and more. In our safe and structured environment, your child will take their first steps toward independence, all while having fun and building positive relationships with their peers.

The preschool years are truly amazing! At this stage, children demonstrate a strong eagerness to learn, and their ability to experiment, explore, and concentrate on specific tasks develops quickly. Our program is crafted to nurture the growing curiosity and developmental needs of young preschoolers by offering challenges, engagement, and encouragement tailored to their individual interests. We firmly believe that children learn best through play, and our approach reflects that philosophy. Our preschool classes provide a dynamic, play-based learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, and grow. Designed to meet the developmental needs of young learners, our program focuses on building foundational skills in areas like language, early literacy, math, and problem-solving, while also nurturing social-emotional development. Our experienced teachers guide children through engaging, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and foster a love for learning. With a balance of structured lessons and open-ended play, we ensure that each child develops the confidence, independence, and skills needed for a successful transition to kindergarten.

Toddlers

The one-year-old classroom is a whirl-wind of excitement, filled with fun and new friends with whom to toddle. Perfecting the art of walking, then running is the first talent our children attain. Learning how to eat with utensils, and drink from a cup is only the beginning. They begin to discover the joy of learning through circle time, and the continued journey of books, and stories at daycare. Sharing and taking turns is only a first step of what they will learn as a friend, and there is so much to discover on their own in the playtime centers.

Preschool

Our three-year-old class soars with energy and wonder. What used to be the Pre-K curriculum is now the three year old's stronghold. Developing the skills they will use to read and write is only the beginning of the learning to come. Each child is enveloped with the building blocks to reading and writing. They also begin to learn how to have empathy, and how to be a friend. Social skills are being defined. And everything is learned through play.
