Baby Steps Infant Program
Full-time only

The Baby Steps infant program provides a warm, nurturing and supportive environment for infants ages 3-12 months where babies feel safe and secure. Babies are engaged in experiences that foster curiosity and invite exploration, while laying the foundation for later learning in language, cognitive, motor skill and sensory development. The program is staffed by warm and nurturing caregivers who provide individualized attention and experiences and who forge meaningful partnerships with parents as well.

Bright Beginnings Program
Full-time only

The Bright Beginnings class is the next step after the infant program. Our young toddlers ages 12-18 months are hard at work learning how to accomplish tasks on their own such as eating, playing and talking. As these new abilities emerge, young toddlers are excited to explore the world around them. Under the guidance of our nurturing and experienced staff our toddlers enjoy hands-on experiences and social interactions in a safe and engaging environment. This class provides daily opportunities for learning experiences that foster and promote toddlers’ emerging independence and social skills while helping to build self-confidence.

Three-Year-Old Program
Full-time or Part-time

Three-year-old classes emphasize developing social skills such as making friends, sharing and taking turns. This comprehensive program stresses the child’s individual development and understanding of the world around them. By exploring nature, the seasons, the community and the family, the children become more aware of themselves, their environment and others. The program incorporates language acquisition, science, math, cooking, outdoor/indoor play, creative movement, music and library. Special activities help the children develop responsibility and independence along with sensitivity towards others. 

Four-Year-Old Program (Pre-K)
Full-time or Part-time

Our Pre-k classes are designed to prepare the children for kindergarten. Our program enhances self-esteem, listening skills, attention span and the ability to follow directions. We continue to emphasize independence and self-reliance.

We use kindergarten-readiness materials that provide solid preparation for kindergarten in both public and private schools. Language arts and math concepts are integrated into the daily classroom experience. The children are exposed to science, nature, geography, imaginative storytelling, cooking, art, computers, creative movement and indoor/outdoor play.  Our teachers work to bring out the best in each child. The program also promotes each child’s social development including consideration of others, self-sufficiency and self-discipline in a happy, nurturing and productive setting.
