Infants
(6 weeks - 12 months)

The Stage of Trust & Comfort

Our Infant program focuses on the most critical stage of development: building trust. We provide a warm, nurturing environment where your baby feels safe and loved. We mirror the individual schedule you have at home—ensuring consistent feeding, napping, and play—so your child develops a secure foundation for the years ahead.

Toddlers
(12 - 24 months)

The Stage of Mobility & Wonder

As children take their first steps, their world expands! This is the stage of active exploration. Our Toddler classroom is a safe space for new walkers to test their mobility and curiosity. We encourage their physical milestones while providing the comfort and emotional boundaries they need to feel secure

Twos
(24 - 36 Months)

The Stage of Independence

Two-year-olds are eager to do things "all by themselves." We support this growing independence while guiding them through their first real social interactions. This stage focuses on self-help skills, early language development, and learning to play near and with others.

Threes
(36 - 48 months)

The Stage of Collaboration

In our Threes classroom, cooperative play takes center stage. Children move from playing next to each other to playing with each other. We introduce more structured learning concepts here to spark intellectual curiosity, helping them learn to solve simple problems and express complex feelings.

Fours
(48 - 60 Months)

The Stage of Pre-K Readiness

Our Fours program is designed to polish the skills needed for school success. This stage balances academic preparation with play-based learning. We focus on literacy, math concepts, and fine motor skills to ensure your child is a confident and eager learner

School Age
(Before & After School)

The Stage of Safe Landings

We know the school day doesn't always align with the work day. Our School Age program acts as a bridge between home and school. We provide a safe "home base" where children are dropped off in the morning and transported to their respective elementary schools. In the afternoon, we pick them up and bring them back for a mix of relaxation, homework help, and active play—giving them a chance to unwind in a safe, supervised environment until you are ready to pick them up.
