Our Classes:

Baby Rooms

The baby rooms are for babies between six weeks and nine months of age. In these classes, the teachers communicate with the parents daily regarding the child’s naps, meals, and diaper changes. Each child has their own crib for naptime. The children do share bouncy seats, swings, and highchairs, which are sanitized on a regular basis. Teachers in our baby rooms offer lots of love to the children and help them discover the world around them as they grow and learn to crawl. In the baby rooms our teachers work with the children on hand eye coordination and how to entertain themselves through play. The baby rooms offer both a calm, comforting environment for naptime and a stimulating environment for playtime and learning. We play music and have lots of colorful different toys for the children as they begin to crawl and explore. Our main focus in the baby rooms is providing the children with lots of love!

Toddler Rooms

Our toddler classes are busy. The children are moving around quickly and enjoy climbing and exploring their environment. In the toddler classes, our teachers strive to teach the children how to be kind to others and play well with their friends. The toddler classrooms have many toys and activities to provide learning and interactions with others. The toddlers also enjoy playground time where they can run and climb. During their time in the toddler classrooms the children learn to recognize colors and shapes, share toys, color and hold crayons, work on hand eye coordination, know body parts, and know a few words. The teachers also offer letters and numbers for the children to learn, however at this age we don’t push hard. The children in the toddler classes enjoy their time playing, exploring, and forming friendships. They receive lots of love and in turn learn how to love their friends.

2 Year Old Rooms

The two year old classes are fun environments for the children to learn and play. The children in these classrooms enjoy spending time with their friends. The children enjoy play time in their classrooms as well as on the playground. On the playground, the children get to run, jump, slide, and ride tricycles. An important part of the two-year-old classes is potty training. The teachers work with the children to provide as much support as they can during potty training. Over the year in the two-year-old classes, the children will learn to recognize letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. The class uses the “Wee Learn” and “A-beka” curriculum. Each week the children will learn a letter, number, color, Bible story, and Bible verse. They will also start to speak in full sentences. They learn to color, know their body parts, and develop motor skills such as hopping, jumping, and skipping. The teachers also teach the children table manners. Throughout the year the children learn important skills in a fun and friendly environment.

3 Year Old Class

The three year old class enjoys learning and is potty trained. The class uses the “Wee Learn” and “A-Beka” curriculums. The children learn to recognize and write their name, shapes, colors, letters and numbers. The children begin to master techniques such as cutting with scissors, learning to control glue, button and zip clothing, and to color in the lines. The teachers also provide a more structured environment in which the children learn to follow instructions, show respect for adults, use table manners, and walk in straight line and orderly manner. The children learn to play fair and treat their friends kindly. Each week the children learn a new letter, number, color, shape, Bible story, and Bible verse. The three year old class teaches children many important skills and discipline that will be needed for K-4.

4 Year Old Class

The four year old class is structured to prepare the children for success in Kindergarten. The children learn a great deal but also have lots of fun. The four year olds use the “Wee Learn” and “A-Beka” curriculums. Each week the children learn a new letter, number, shape, color, Bible story, and Bible verse. The children learn and master writing their names, recognizing letters and their sounds, recognize numbers in English and Spanish, recognize all shapes and colors, recognize color words, follow the line with scissors, glue things, and color in the lines. The children also learn to be independent by practicing tying their shoes, buttoning and zipping their clothing, and going to the bathroom alone. The children are able to show respect for adults and peers, use table manners, follow instructions and walk in straight lines in an orderly manner. The children learn songs for the upcoming programs that they will perform for their parents. In the four year old class we strive to have the children prepared to succeed in their Kindergarten experience.
