Infant/Toddler Program

A full day child care program for children ages 6 weeks to 36 months.

The first priority is to provide a place where infants and toddlers are comfortable, secure and happy.

Our goal is to create an atmosphere in which infants and toddlers feel confident and trusting. Play activities encourage children to explore the world around them … safely. This promotes language, motor development, as well as, social and emotional development.

Preschool Program

A full day preschool and child care service for children three to five years of age.

The Preschool Program centers around the development of the whole child. Each child is given the opportunity for self-expression and creative exploration. Stimulating activities promote successful learning for each child. This is done by using an identification and a referral system that enables early intervention for delivery of special services both on and off site.

Kindergarten Program

This full day program for children of kindergarten age, includes opportunities for small group learning, individual projects and large group experiences. Progress reports are issued twice a year. The curriculum is geared toward 1st grade readiness.
