Youth Development

Nurturing the potential of every child and teen

INFANT AND TODDLER Infant 2 months to 15 months Toddler 15 months to 1 year 10 months Transitional Preschool 1 yr 11 months to 2 years 8 months Our infant program provides a nurturing and supportive experience utilizing personal care plans based on your baby’s individual needs. Babies are cared for in a sensory rich environment that encourages a child’s natural curiosity to absorb the world around them. Toddler and Transitional Preschool children navigate social situations, investigate cause and effect relationships, and build on essential early language and motor skills. Children learn through play in centers designed to offer them the option to make decisions, creating a sense of independence and willingness to explore.

PRESCHOOL Preschool 2 years 9 months to 4 years 5 months Kindergarten Readiness 4 years 6 months & older Preschoolers use their curiosity and imagination to become creative thinkers. As active learners, they investigate centers rich with materials that encourage children to use their innate sense of exploration as they further investigate their interests. Our curriculum in our Kindergarten Readiness program prepares children to become independent learners and develop self-confidence for sharing in a classroom setting. We focus on the areas of pre-reading, math and science skill development. Children are immersed in social interactions with peers and adults, giving them the tools they need to succeed in and out of the school environment.
