Program

About Our Program:

 

Play is at the heart of our early childhood program.  Children play with simple, natural toys and materials and are guided through their day by a gentle rhythm of physical, cognitive, and creative play in addition to structured meals and story time.  Our program also includes the arts, music and movement, math skills, yoga and lots of outdoor activities.

 

We have a safe natural outdoor and indoor settings including gross motor equipment, cognitive and dramatic play.  We encourage "Make Believe," "Wishing Games," 'Dress Up," and "House."

 


 

Creative Pre-School Program:
 

Our Pre-School curriculum is hands-on activities for two, three and four year-olds.  It is fun-filled with colorful activities and games used to explore basic concepts and skills in meaningful ways.  Sensory perception is developed through the use of clays, paints, textured materials, sands and water, cutting, drawing and paste.  Creative preschool helps children build social and emotional, and math skills.

 

​Our Food Program:

 

We participate in the Children’s Alliance Food Program, which is a part of the National School Hot Lunch Program.  We server nutritionally balanced, high-quality foods family-style daily.

 

Breakfast:    8:30am
Snack:        10:00am
Lunch:        11:30am

10 tips for Successful Childcare Inclusion

 

 

 

 


 

 

  • Allow for plenty of sleep.7:00pm-8:00pm is a great bedtime.Tired children are miserable.

 

  • Layer easy durable cloths.Dresses and overalls are difficult and children are messy.

 

  • Make time for a light breakfast (milk, fruit and toast).Hungry children are unhappy and aggressive.

 

  • Inform of medication, absenteeism or vacations to ensure organization. Pay promptly – our program quality depends on it.

 

  • Sick days, holidays, and in-service days are paid; again, program quality depends on it.

 

  • Velcro shoes empower young children; tie shoes are dangerous and time consuming.

 

  • No pull-ups please.Your child will let us know he/she is ready for toileting.

 

  • Embrace independence.Your child will blossom.

 

  • Join us for an orientation night so we all are consistent with policies, limits and boundaries.
