Infants
The infant room is highly sought after because of the care our teachers take to stimulate every baby's development. Our infant room is stocked with equipment that encourages manipulation and focuses on strengthening the fine motor skills. Recognizing that children begin learning about the world around them from birth, we train our staff to pay attention, just as you do, to make sure each child is reaching his or her developmental milestones. While all of our rooms are bright and colorful, the infant room is especially vibrant with hanging mobiles, bright carpets, and pictures everywhere. Our teachers watch closely for "forerunners", to see when each child exhibits readiness for the next stage of enrichment.

Toddlers (12-24 months)
Our focus on sensory and cognitive stimulation and development continues in our toddler classrooms. In addition to our center play and monthly themed activities, sign language instruction is continued in our toddler room. We also introduce Spanish to the 12-24 month olds. Our Spanish classes are taught by Lingual Kids instructors based on a literacy-rich program of language and cultural instruction enhanced by music and movement.

2 years
We know that at 2 years old children reach a linguistic milestone, learning more words their second year than at any other single year of their lives. Our instructors are fueled by this notion, and that is one of the reasons that we begin introducing components of the Abeka Curriculum to children at this age. We know that the Abeka curriculum has proven itself to be a strong instrument in literacy for young children. So, we gently introduce letters and sounds at this stage, taking care to design literacy lessons that reinforce our hands-on approach to developing their fine and gross motor skills.

Spanish and sign language instruction continues for the 2s. And boy do they soak it in quickly.

3 years
At three years, science and discovery are of top importance to young children. We promote this natural interest in the world around them with our learning center for science and discovery. At this classroom center, children explore the wonders of the earth such as gravity and magnetism. We stock this center full of mini animals, insect replicas, and magnifying glasses that make it easier for children to observe their tiny parts. To continue to foster their understanding of the world, we embark on a year long discovery of our solar system, including the planets and the heavens above them. It is also at this center that the building blocks of scientific discovery are laid as our children are exposed to the scientific method of prediction (hypothesis), observation, experimentation, and subsequently, discovery.

4-5 years
At four years old and above children begin to show readiness for longer periods of instruction. We take advantage of their readiness by offering small group learning times where we focus on phonics and counting skills. Abeka flash cards, songs, and finger play examples are used here.

Another feature of this classroom is its longer periods of circle time. Circle Time is thematically based, lending itself to singing, finger plays, and conversation. It can serve as a time for us to observe each child's comprehension of previous lessons. Circle Time creates an atmosphere of social development, where we teach our children to speak in turns and not interrupt. Circle Time presents a valuable environment where patience, kindness, and gentleness can be seamlessly reinforced.

In our Kindergarten children are ready for a more structural setting.  We instruct our children using A Beka Book, which provides Christian schools with God-honoring curriculum that focuses on leading our students to Christ and training them in the Bible, Christian character, language, and traditional subject matters.  The A Beka Book approach keeps learning stimulating, interesting, and enjoyable.

FOR THE PARENTS
Parents of students can enjoy a Parent's Night Out one Saturday a month from 6:00-11:00pm. Children from 6 weeks to 12 years are welcome to come enjoy dinner, snacks, games, movies, and lots of fun. Parents can enjoy this time to themselves, resting assured that their children are receiving the greatest attention and care possible.
