In the Pink Class, we love and care for your babies as if they were our own. When you drop your little one off, you’ll walk away with the certainty that your baby will be safe, loved, and well taken care of. We talk with your babies, sing and read to them, and genuinely love them as a part of our family.

On sunny days, you might find us lounging on a blanket under a leafy oak tree, exploring in the sensory garden, or going for a walk in our strollers. We love watching your little one grow and develop each and every day.

We provide infants with a safe environment and a routine that they come to expect and love. We make sure our environment supports infants’ growing physical abilities. We strongly believe that children start learning from the day they are born. Therefore, we offer them ample opportunity to grow their gross motor and fine motor skills.

We want children to develop their curiosity and explore the world around them, so we provide them with a safe, fun, and enjoyable environment to develop their senses and explore.

At this stage, children need to learn movement. It’s a time when they learn to sit up, stand, and eventually walk. As they learn to be more mobile, their curiosity unfolds and leads them to discover their environment.

As experienced teachers and professionals, we distinguish each child’s personality, temperament, and preferences at this stage. Children at this age exhibit their first characteristics—traits that will define them in the future. As teachers, we need to understand and respect children’s different trajectories to learning.

Our goal is to engage children in fun, enjoyable, and worthwhile activities and experiences where they will express themselves and explore their environment. It is through play and exploration that children understand, learn, and grow.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of their lives!

In the Red Class, we are having lots of fun while learning new things. We love to sing songs, dance, read, and play pretend. We also work on developmental skills through different forms of play, practice sharing with friends, and learn our first bits of sign language.

Now that most children are mobile and active, we take advantage of their curiosity to introduce them to arts, language, and movement. Children are more adventurous and observant at this age. They become more aware of their environment and try to connect and interact with it.

At this stage, children understand a few words and try to imitate spoken language by babbling. As their senses develop, they increasingly become more receptive of their physical environment and start recognizing—although not yet accepting—the existence of other children around them.

This is the time they will start attempting to communicate with adults and their peers. They will also slowly become aware of their own emotions.

In the Maroon Class, we are having lots of fun while learning new things. We love to sing songs, dance, read, and play pretend. We also work on developmental skills through different forms of play, practice sharing with friends, and learn our first bits of sign language. Our class ratio is 1:5 adults with a ten-toddler class size.

In the Orange Class, we have a very full schedule consisting of music and movement, storytime, basic signing, English, Spanish, and learning games. Everything we do has a purpose because children are so eager to learn and everything is new to them.

We teach shapes, colors, counting in English and Spanish, letters, and very beginning letter recognition. We have a very organized and structured classroom, and believe that children learn better when they feel safe and comfortable. This is why we encourage friendships amongst the children and take a very hands-on approach.

In the Orange Class, we begin to work with potty training the children, if needed, and celebrate this wonderful accomplishment with pride.

We never miss an opportunity to teach. Learning happens around us all the time. For example, instead of asking a child to sit in a chair, we will ask the child to sit in the “blue” chair, thus improving their color recognition. We strongly believe that parent involvement in the children’s learning is very important to their early development, and encourage parents to participate whenever possible

Children at this stage are testing their independence and limits. They want to see how many tasks they can do on their own, and prove their abilities to themselves and their peers. Everything catches their attention, be it arts, toys, books, kitchen utensils, or sand.

In the Yellow Class, we have a very full schedule consisting of music and movement, storytime, basic signing, English, Spanish, and learning games. Everything we do has a purpose because children are so eager to learn and everything is new to them.

Our students begin to recognize the letters of the alphabet, as well as basic colors, shapes, and numbers.

We place a special emphasis on building the children’s social and emotional skills, not only with their fellow peers but with the adults in their lives as well.

Children start to learn about healthy eating habits and the importance of a healthy body. Their muscles are fully developed at this stage, so they can engage in activities that involve even the small muscles. They use utensils and control their movements.

As they grow, children become interested in their peers and their interaction with them. They want to play, learn, and engage with them—although there is still some antagonizing.

We pay special attention to emotional stability, balance, and behavioral health. We want children to develop their social and emotional skills and build valuable and meaningful relationships. If we see aggressive or disruptive behaviors, we gently steer children toward recognizing their emotions and developing their impulse control and self-regulation skills.

Our Yellow Class slowly introduces literacy, letters, the alphabet, logic, reasoning, and mathematics to children in a fun and play-oriented way.

Our days are busy and filled with lots of exciting learning!
