What We Offer

Programs

Toddler

In our Toddler Program (for children aged 18 to 30 months), we prioritize building strong, nurturing relationships between each child and their caregiver. This helps toddlers feel safe, confident, and ready to explore new skills and experiences. Toddlers learn in a holistic way, meaning they don’t separate learning into different subjects. Our caregivers are responsive to each child’s individual needs and cues, getting to know them well in order to provide the best possible care. We offer a variety of developmentally appropriate activities designed to spark their curiosity and encourage exploration.

To maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio (1:6), we encourage parents to volunteer regularly in the mornings. We also implement the following research-based principles:

  • Primary Caregiving: Each toddler is placed in a small group of 6, led by a consistent caregiver who gets to know their individual needs and preferences.
  • Continuity of Care: Your child’s primary caregiver will remain the same throughout the year and will transition with them into the preschool program to ensure consistency and quality care.
  • Small Groups: We keep our toddler groups small to promote a sense of security, trust, and belonging.
Preschool

Our preschool program (ages 2-5) is designed to provide a balance of activities, encouraging children to both initiate their own play and participate in teacher-led learning experiences. We offer a variety of engaging choices within a carefully planned indoor and outdoor environment.

Our age-appropriate activities include:

  • Art
  • Music
  • Dramatic play
  • Block play
  • Manipulatives
  • Literature and books
  • Language arts
  • Cooking
  • Water and sand play
  • Gardening
  • Animal care
  • Outdoor enrichment
  • Creative problem-solving

We also incorporate Bible stories into our hands-on curriculum. Nutritious breakfast and afternoon snacks are provided daily, and full-day children have a designated rest time. To ensure individualized attention, we maintain a teacher-to-child ratio of 1:9.

Toilet  Training Policy

Admission Inquiry

Toddler

We believe that toilet learning is a team effort! We work closely with parents to help toddlers feel confident and ready to use the potty. In our group setting, toddlers naturally learn from each other and become curious about using the potty. When your child shows interest, we’ll work together to support them through this exciting milestone. We’ll encourage them to try new skills, help them with dressing routines, and teach good hygiene habits. We provide consistent support and encouragement every step of the way.

Preschool

To participate in our preschool program, children must be toilet-trained. This means they can independently use the potty with minimal assistance. Our preschool program is designed to focus on preschool activities and learning, rather than diapering routines. If your child has occasional accidents, please send them to school with extra clothes and underwear. You’re always welcome to discuss any questions or concerns about toilet learning with your child’s teacher.
