All children must be dropped off by 9:30 am, unless prior arrangements have been made. Having all children dropped off by 9:30 am will help keep structure and flow in the classroom and helps the child transition during free play.
Our preschool program is enriching and fulfilling in many different ways such as academically, socially, and emotionally. We have a 1:8 teacher child ratio which surpasses the state’s requirement. Our preschool classrooms are set up and furnished to meet the requirements based on age appropriate standards for preschool aged children. We follow a weekly themed based curriculum and study one letter and one number each week. For each theme, we develop an age appropriate curriculum that correlates with the theme. We implement these activities throughout the entire day through teacher and child directed activities. Our daily schedule is developed to encourage free play as well as structured academic time to focus on different skills and lessons. Another part of our plan includes a research based curriculum called Second Step. This specific curriculum focuses on social emotional development in preschool aged children. Our second step curriculum is introduced each morning during our morning circle and reinforced throughout the day. This curriculum strongly supports and encourages the use of lifelong skills such as problem solving and managing emotions. Parents are updated with their children’s meals, naps, photos and more communication through our app, Brightwheel. This is a way for staff to share fun things the children are doing in the classroom with parents as well as any notes needed. In our preschool program, we offer lots of individualized and group attention. We have daily jobs for the children to help with, free play, various art activities, sensory table, large and small group time, share time, outside play, yoga group, movement, just to name a few of our daily activities. To document the children’s progress and growth teachers complete academic and social assessments at the beginning of the child’s entrance to the classroom and again towards the end. This allows the teachers to know more specific and individualized areas of developmental needs with each child. Our goal is to send fully prepared children off to Kindergarten.

The toddler room is a fun and engaging learning environment for children 18 –36 months old. The children in the toddler room are excited about their world around them. The toddler room provides a nurturing environment with structure that allows the students to grow and learn while feeling safe and comfortable. Children are given daily opportunities to explore and learn through age appropriate toys and projects. Our toddler room maintains a 1:4 ratio in order to provide higher quality care and better meet the needs of the children. The teachers in the toddler room also provide primary caregiving. This allows teachers to meet the individual needs of the children in each teacher’s primary care group. Primary caregiving is a benefit to the children and the teachers as it allows them to build and support strong relationships between the child and teachers supports stability with consistent attention from one adult. Each toddler will have their care chart updated on our app, Brightwheel. This will typically be updated towards the end of the day to allow teachers to focus in the moment. Brightwheel is great for sharing what the toddlers ate for snack, photos of the toddlers, the diapering/potty schedule, and any other needs that they may have. The toddlers engage in a light curriculum schedule focusing on a theme each week. The toddlers will read books, sing songs, have puppet shows, various art activities, explore different textures, learn friend’s and teacher name’s, basic shapes, counting, ABCs, and colors. Children in the toddler classroom are encouraged to try to use their words to express their needs and wants. Language is used and modeled by the teachers in the classroom. As the toddler grows older the teachers will also assist the children with potty training before he/she transitions into the preschool. This is a big step before moving over to the preschool classroom. Being in the same building as the preschool program, it makes for an easier transition as they’re able to meet the other teachers and are already familiar with the facility.

The infant room provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for infants to explore throughout their day. Experiences with teachers, peers, language, movement, music, books, water, art and dramatic play materials enhance children’s growth and development. Each infant’s experience is based on their individual needs. The environment is planned to be safe and stimulating for all children in the group. One way we keep the room clean and safe for crawling infants is by maintaining a “shoeless” environment. We ask that all adults entering the room remove their shoes. Infant care is individualized; incorporating the child’s changing developmental needs and individual cues, as well as family preferences. As infants grow older, they are encouraged to be more independent. We help infants fall asleep by holding, rocking, singing, rubbing backs or gently rocking a crib. We will provide you with a “daily chart” through our app, Brightwheel, indicating your child’s feeding, napping, diapering and play activities. The infant caregiver ratio is 1:3.

Transferring Classrooms
Our goal is to have children transfer from the infant room, to the toddler room, and finally to the preschool room, if space is available. Children that attend will have priority to all rooms if space is available. We try our hardest to make the transition from each room the same desired schedule for families. We will generally hold spots for children if needed for specific transitions into rooms. If it is longer than 2 months, parents could be responsible for us holding the spot.
