Our Program

     We believe that each child is unique with his or her own learning style.  Our thematic based program is carefully structured to maximize each child’s potential and enrich their creativity.  We understand the importance of literacy at an early age, making it one of our primary focuses.  Our woodland setting allows students to experience nature, science, and the environment by exploring our nature trails, vegetable and flower gardens and wetlands.  Our formal Nursery School is a separate program, open to those just attending the Nursery School while offering the convenience and flexibility of our excellent day care to those who wish to take advantage of it.

     Our three-year-old program focuses on the social skills necessary to transition into school and beyond.  The four-year-old program develops the problem solving, literacy and language skills necessary for successful Kindergarten participation.  We also offer a Pre-K program for further enrichment before Kindergarten.

Pre-Kindergarten Program
This program is designed for children who will be five by December 31st, but have decided to wait one more year before entering kindergarten. This will be a traditional pre-kindergarten program: however, our focus will be on activities in science. We feel this approach will lend itself to the development of the whole child. Activities will be selected that will stretch children’s thinking and observational skills.
