Our Program
Children are grouped according to age and developmental maturity into three age groups: infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Each classroom has assigned teaching staff who have primary responsibility for that group of children. These teachers provide ongoing personal contact, meaningful learning activities, supervision and immediate care as needed to protect children’s well-being. Children stay with the same set of teachers for 1 ½ - 2 years, so that teachers, families and children can develop relationships and to provide continuity for children.
Our programs are based on the concept of developmentally appropriate practice. The Curriculum is multi-faceted, providing opportunities for the development of social and emotional skills, gross and fine motor skills and perceptual and cognitive readiness. Sound health and good nutritional practices are emphasized. Safety is stressed. Through teacher/child interaction, children learn language and problem-solving skills. Children are offered a program rich in assorted activities in order to give them the opportunity to make choices. Choices of activities alternate between quiet and active play, both indoors and outdoors, to keep the children stimulated, interested and relaxed.
