Fostering growth through playful learning

Our Philosophy

Our staff strives to encourage each child in their social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cognitive development. Through a variety of age-appropriate activities, teachers will help children grow in the skills of thinking, listening, communication, and small and large motor skills. All activities will attribute to each child’s social/emotional growth through encouragement, cooperation, experience, and enjoyment.

Sunshines (Ages 3-4)

The Sunshine Class is our youngest age level of classes for children of 3 going on 4 years of age. Children must be age 3 by August 1st.

This class is a play-based program that focuses on developing foundational reading and pre-writing skills through the exploration of the alphabet, fine motor development, and basic math skills like one-to-one correspondence, sorting, and patterns.

We help children gain independence by focusing on self-help skills such as taking care of their belongings, putting on their coats, and using the bathroom independently. We also emphasize social skills and teach children to respect and get along with their peers.

Moonbeams (Ages 4-5)

This PreK is offered to children who are four years old by August 1st.

Moonbeam students will experience activities that will strengthen and prepare them for kindergarten. They will learn simple sight words and reinforce counting skills. They will also engage in more specific instructions and be asked to follow a string of age-appropriate commands. Their writing skills will increase daily as they write their names and other words incorporated in their topic lesson. Lots of encouragement is given to keep them excited and motivated to learn and engage in activities.

School Year (September – May)

Our extended care program is available year-round and is an extension of our preschool program. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, stable, and structured environment for all children. For younger children, we have classrooms for toddlers (12 months and walking), two-year-old children, and a mixed age group made up of 3 to 5-year-old children. These classrooms follow a looser curriculum, but still include a structured plan to keep children busy and engaged. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are transitioned into a preschool class either in the morning or after lunch.

Summer Break

Our Summer Care is an educational opportunity and childcare available for children 12 months to 5th grade. Children will participate in learning activities while in our care and play side-by-side with children of their age. Children bring a sack lunch, and we provide daily snacks.

Elementary-age children enjoy reading, journaling, playing games, and even swimming at the Glen Aqua pool on sunny afternoons. Preschool children follow a loose curriculum and enjoy learning through play, including outdoor and water activities.
