Our Programs

Based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices, our educational program starts in the infant room, is included with normal tuition for all children, and progresses with each child into our PreK 4 classroom.

Before & After Care

We allow for homework time when the children return to the center in the afternoons. Some families prefer children to get their energy out and save their homework for home. Other families have busy schedules and extracurricular activities and find it helpful for children to get a head start on their homework.

Summer Camp

Each classroom is equipped with lots of games, activities, and free space for the kids to make independent decisions on what they want to play. We offer a range of outdoor activities and games to indoor crafts, art, and movies. Given the choice to make their own decision, children in this age group enjoy summer camps much more than traditional group care.

🎨 Why We Let Our Young Toddlers Explore Paint 🎨

If you’ve ever seen a toddler covered in paint from head to toe, you know it’s more than a messy moment — it’s learning in action! ❤️

When our young toddlers paint, they’re not just making art. They’re:

✨ Building sensory awareness
✨ Strengthening fine-motor skills
✨ Exploring creativity and self-expression
✨ Learning cause & effect
✨ Practicing calm focus and emotional regulation
✨ Engaging with friends and sharing space

Paint play is one of the best ways for little ones to learn about their world — with their whole bodies, whole brains, and whole hearts. 💛

We love giving them opportunities to explore, discover, and create! 🎨🖐️

🎵 Music & Movement Magic in Our Toddler Classroom! 🥁✨

If there’s one thing toddlers love, it’s moving their bodies—and we love watching them learn through it! Music and movement aren’t just fun… they play a HUGE role in early development.

Here’s what this daily routine helps build:
💛 Language skills — Songs introduce new words, rhythms, and sounds.
🧠 Brain development — Music activates both sides of the brain, boosting memory and early learning.
💪 Gross motor skills — Dancing, jumping, and tapping help little ones strengthen their coordination.
😊 Social-emotional growth — Group songs help toddlers practice taking turns, following directions, and expressing joy.
🎶 Creativity — Instruments and dance let them explore, imagine, and express themselves freely.

Our toddlers aren’t just having fun—they’re learning, growing, and building confidence with every beat, bounce, and wiggle! 💃🕺💛
