Infants and toddlers begin to develop an understanding of the world around them through their senses and physical actions. To help develop these skills, our infant/toddler program was designed with various age appropriate experiences and exercises which will help your child develop at his/her own speed. These areas include sensorimotor, psychomotor, language development, cognitive development, large and small motor skills, and social and emotional development. The children are spoken, sung and read to frequently, have many different objects in their environment to see and touch, and have many opportunities to develop their fine and gross motor skills.
At just two years old, children begin to develop social skills, expand their vocabulary, and test their independence. To develop these skills, our program for this age group offers a group experience which recognizes the special needs of each child. The children have many opportunities to explore and learn about the environment. The children are spoken to frequently and are encouraged to participate daily in individual and group conversations. Toilet training, dealing with frustration, encouraging self-help skills, and providing successful age-appropriate experiences to enhance the child's self-concept are all part of our Two-Year Olds Program.
Our preschool program offers a balance of free play and structured individual and group activities, which gives the children a well-balanced preschool education. At this age, children are developing more intimate peer relationships, asking questions about the world around them, and developing self-discipline and control. To enhance these skills, our program offers activities and experiences in the areas of science, math, beginner reading and writing, large and small motor skills, dramatic play, block play, plus creative and movement activities.
As children enter elementary school, they are beginning to develop close relationships in peer groups, can communicate more effectively with peers and adults, and are better able to problem solve and use abstract thinking. To develop these skills we offer a very small and personalized before and after school program to balance with the more structured public setting. Children in this program are provided with a large variety of stimulating hands-on learning experiences to suit their needs.
