​Full time infant program:

In the Infant Room, we do not have a set routine; we follow your baby’s individual schedule for eating and sleeping. Throughout the day, in the Infant Room we have fun! We play together, sing, read stories, listen to fun music, teach basic sign language, make simple hand print crafts and enjoy buggy walks, when weather permits. We offer a large wide variety of small and large toys and baby equipment to encourage your child’s fine and gross motor skills. We meet the needs of each baby, and provide individual attention and above all being held, loved, and cuddled by all staff members. Because we respect the individual of each baby, the routine in the Infant Room is subject to change at any given time.

*Preschool Camps* 

 Our Summer program begins June 3rd, 2024 and is offered to ages 12 months -5 yrs (Pre-K). Our summer hours of operation do not change. We have a school wide weekly themed curriculum. Through out the summer we offer in house events to coincide with our themes.


Learning for Life Character Development Curriculum 4- Pre-K

Learning for Life is a character education program designed to support schools and community- based organizations in their efforts to prepare youth to successfully handle the complexities of our contemporary society.

Our curriculum prepares students to enhance their self-confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. The program uses age-appropriate, specific lesson plans to give youth skills and information that will help them make positive decisions for themselves, their families and their futures.

Learning for Life makes academic learning fun and relevant to real-life situations in age appropriate and grade specific material. As a result, the positive character traits and skills learned by participation in Learning for Life not only make students more confident and capable, but also give them an invaluable understanding of how things work in the real world. Schools will see higher attendance rates and fewer disciplinary actions.

Preschool Day 9-2 pm

We offer 3 program schedules starting at 12 months and up.

5 days (Mon-Fri), 3 days (Mon/Wed/Fri) or 2 days a week (Tues/Thurs)

What a wonderful beginning to your child's preschool experience! Your child is developing quickly and thematic based curriculum gives your energetic and curious child the opportunity to explore this wonderful world God has created for them. Each day includes language development and literacy, S.T.E.M, art, music, dramatic play and more. Self help skills are taught as the children learn how to become more independent in cleaning-up and as we partner with you in potty training.


We utilize an Anti-bias approach to early childhood education that sets forth values-based principles and methodology in support of respecting and embracing differences and acting against bias and unfairness. Anti-bias teaching requires critical thinking and problem solving by both children and adults. The overarching goal is creating a climate of positive self and group identity development, through which every child will achieve her or his fullest potential.



Additional Programs: 


Breakfast Bunch- Your child can attend the morning program that begins at 7:30 am and eat breakfast you provide. We know how difficult it can be to get the little ones fed and out the door in time for school and work. You can bring them in a bit early and they can have breakfast at school. They can also attend if you need an earlier start to the day and already had breakfast!


Snack Pack- Snack Pack occurs between 2 -3 pm. Students make snacks with their teacher daily. The  menu is staff created and will give the children the chance hands on to make their fun and healthy snacks, provided by the school. This may include a ham wrap or celery with cream cheese or cracker sandwiches! They may even be able to come home and show you how to make yummy fun snacks.


Afternoon Specials- Afternoon specials includes our snack pack program. Each school day have a Learning Standard the students and staff focus on. Whether its S.T.E.M activities, Outdoor Classroom, Movement and Fitness or Sensory, the students will have a focused enriched learning special daily to participate in. We implement these Learning Standard daily during a preschool day but the afternoon program is more focused on one Learning Standard each day.
