​Toddler Program (Ages 2-3)
​
Curriculum: We believe that children learn best through play, so our curriculum is heavily play based and child lead. Blending concepts of Montessori, Reggio-Emilia, and Head Start models, we give children the reigns to explore within the classroom with a mix of planned, child-led activities and spontaneous learning opportunities. Art, music, and sensory play make for a wholly engaging learning environment, so we make a lot of noise, a lot of mess, and laugh until we can't laugh anymore.
Toddler Classroom: Our classroom is designed for children age 2-3 with mild to severe developmental disabilities or delays and peer models without delays. The focus is on the physical, emotional, and cognitive development of each student. Our toddler class maintains a 2:6 staff to students ratio. ​

​​Preschool Program (Ages 3 - 4)

​Curriculum: We use professionally inspired curriculum that engages the whole child through interactive experiences and hands-on learning. The use of free-play time and learning centers offers children an opportunity to creatively interpret, experiment, and use their new knowledge. Our students build foundational skills in early literacy, math, music, art, social studies and science. Using weekly themes, children are invited to immerse themselves emotionally, cognitively and physically into the process of learning.
