Our Learning Curriculum

Our play-based curriculum fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity that helps to build their self-confidence and learn important skills like being kind to others.

Starting in our Infant classrooms, our educators will nurture your child’s important phase of development through a thoughtful combination of music and movement, reading and sensory play.

As children move into our Toddler classrooms they will learn through purposeful play to foster social, cognitive, and physical development. Gross and fine motor development occur alongside music, reading, and art.

Preschoolers continue their educational journey with the introduction of “Handwriting Without Tears.” This is a developmentally-appropriate, multi-sensory methodology to introduce children to pre-writing skills and the foundation of letter formation.

Daycare Food Policy

Families provide snacks and meals for their children. We encourage healthy and diverse food options to support good nutrition, healthy growth, and a well-developed palate.

Families provide all necessary food and bottles for infants. Toddlers and preschool children bring in everything they need for a successful morning/afternoon snack, lunch, and drinks in an insulated lunchbox with an ice pack. All of our centers are nut free which means that no food items may contain traces of nuts, be processed on the same equipment as nuts, or in the same factory as food that contains nuts. Please remember to check all labels as any food that is questionable will be sent home for everyone’s safety.
