Toddler Program

 A nurturing learning environment for our younger toddlers sets its pace around the needs and unique differences of each child. The teacher centers the day around each child while meeting their developmental benchmarks in areas of cognitive, social/emotional, language & physical.

The teachers help guide children through many activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor play, games, story and group time. Your child will build their language awareness through name and letter writing, letter identification, and a phonics program.

Older Toddler Program

Toddlers are growing and learning new skills daily. In providing a program for toddlers, the teacher understands that children learn more by exploring. In planning, the teacher prepares to be flexible and spontaneous.

Our program involves appropriate activities in a variety of areas from:

Twos Program

Two year olds need more stimulation as they work on becoming independent. Our teachers allow opportunities for the child to become more independent and to make choices. Discovering is a big step for this group, who is becoming more aware of their bodies. This developmental stage makes potty training an easy and successful transition.

Our teachers prioritize including activities aimed to provide a well-rounded and age-appropriate learning experience for two-year-olds such as:

Pre-School Program

Our pre-school program is designed to build successful learners. It is our goal to help each child with their growth and development in the following areas:

Our teachers encourage emotional, social and self-discovery. Our program prepares 3-year-old children for continuous success as they get ready to enter Pre-K (Pre-kindergarten) ELC program.

VPK Program

Our VPK program is continually enriching our children with the learning tools necessary to prepare them for kindergarten. With emphasis on literacy (reading and writing) skills, we follow the guidelines set forth by the Florida Readiness Performance Standard, “No Child Left behind” campaign.

Our program is enriched with the building blocks of success for each child’s need. Our teacher holds a four-year degree and has an assistant teacher at all times to give each child intentional one-on-one interactions. This allows the child to grow at his or her own comfort and pace. At the end of our program each child is well prepared for kindergarten success. 

Before & After SchooL Care

Our before and after school enrichment program prepares our children to continue to succeed. Our teacher and assistant teachers provide help with homework. This help session is provided after snack and is followed with a planned activity.

Our activities include, but are not limited to, arts and crafts, cooking and outdoor sports. We also provide before and after school transportation to area schools.
