As your infant's curiosity leads him to take first steps, we encourage the embracement of "toddlerhood". Planned, themed activities promote curiosity and will allow your toddler to exercise her budding independence. Other milestones such as self-feeding and socialization skills are encouraged and supported by our experienced and professionally trained teachers. In our toddler class, the pre-literacy skill, phonemic awareness, or the sounds of language, is introduced as teachers sing nursery rhymes, poems, popular children's songs, read Bible stories and simply talk with the children.

As toddlers reach that all-important "two-year" milestone, they say "goodbye" to babyhood and strive towards independence. Children will be introduced to the concept of learning centers for imaginary play, blocks, puzzles, creative art and dramatic play experiences. A balance of quiet activities with plenty of fun and excitement including music and movement, running and jumping will ensure your tireless two year old will never be bored! Teachers continue to reinforce the necessary prereading skill, phonemic awareness, or the sounds of language, by singing nursery rhymes, poems, popular children's songs, reading Bible stories and simply talking with the children.

Our preschool program promotes a balance of active, hands-on learning and play. Our experienced and dedicated teachers continue to nurture children with positive words and lots of hugs as they provide a variety of themed activities that will strengthen their social, cognitive and motor skills as well as their creativity and independence. Our preschool program also introduces children to the alphabetic principle (associating the written symbol to each sound of the alphabet, which was learned as a two), which is a precursor to later reading and writing success.
