Preschool Education and Childcare
Our Programs
We offer programs for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years of age. Our center bases our curriculum off of the Connecticut Early Learning Development Standards. For specific questions, please feel free to contact us.
​
INFANTS
While in our care, our infants are stimulated through music, outdoor time, tummy time, story time, facial and verbal mimicking and lots of hugs.
​
TODDLERS AND TWOS
At this age, children are always meeting new challenges. Crawling, walking and running are some of these new challenges. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, exposure to various sensory materials and art material are just some ways in which we engage them. Our caregivers are dedicated in helping each child develop through a trusting relationship. A daily report is sent home which lets the parent know about nap time, snack, lunch time, toileting and all activities accomplished each day.
​
PRESCHOOLERS
At this age, children will learn about colors, shapes, numbers, writing, etc. in addition to developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they will need to succeed in school. There is time for music, stories, exercising and outdoor play daily as well as exposure to various sensory, writing and art materials. A day sheet goes home daily informing parents about their child's day.
​
SCHOOL AGE
Our before and after school program allows children time to relax and socialize with friends as well as providing them time to do homework and assisting them when they need it.
