6 weeks and up
Infant Program
We follow your baby's schedule for eating and sleeping, not ours. The infant room is stocked with books and hands-on toys, and the day is full of stories, songs, and simple games.
12 to 23 months
One-Year-Olds
Walking, first words, and a lot of exploring. We focus on language, movement, and getting along with others, with sensory play and plenty of room to roam.
2 years
Toddler Program
Two-year-olds want to do it themselves, so we let them. Children practice hand-washing, sharing, and using their words, with art and play throughout the day.
3 years
Preschool 3's
Pretend play, music, art, early reading, math, and science. Three-year-olds learn to ask questions and figure out the answers.
4 to 5 years
Pre-Kindergarten
A full year of getting ready for kindergarten. Children work on phonics, math, science, geography, and world cultures, plus the social skills they need on day one.
More than the basics
Five enrichment activities give children new ways to move, create, and learn.
Spanish
Young children pick up new languages easily, so we start early.
Yoga
Stretching, breathing, and learning how to calm down.
Soccer
Running, kicking, taking turns, and being a good teammate.
Cooking
Measuring, mixing, and tasting. Math and science they can eat.
Music
Singing, rhythm, and instruments that build listening skills.
