Our Program
Our teachers curate an educational pathway; each classroom honors the age and development of the children, and builds on their skills and experiences.
The Journey Begins
(Guppies ages 18 months to 36 months)
Guppies are just beginning their journey into the world of education. They are developing skills to process separation, develop trust with their teachers, and find comfort in playing with peers. With the help of their teachers, they begin to form an awareness of their social footprint – as individuals who can care for themselves and as members of the classroom community who care for each other.

The Journey Begins
(Penguins ages 2 to 3 years)
In our 2–3 year old classroom, children are growing and changing at an incredible pace—and play is how they make sense of it all. We start encouraging problem-solving and understanding cause and effect. Fine motor skills are strengthened through activities like stacking and drawing, while gross motor skills flourish with climbing, running, and dancing.
​Additionally, age-appropriate language to describe the world around them, teachers model language to promote peer interactions and move children from simply playing side by side to more engaging cooperative play are all areas of focus for our Penguins.
Diving Deeper into Learning
(Seahorse ages 3-4)
In our 3-year-old preschool classroom, children confidently separate from their parents and begin to take pride in their work. They are developing an understanding of social interactions and peer engagement, allowing us to nurture their growth further.
​
We extend circle times and read longer stories to help build their attention spans and foster a love for learning. Through purposeful play, we integrate early math skills, such as patterning and counting, into our daily activities.
The Journey Begins
(Dolphin ages 4-5)
As children move into the 4s classes, students have incorporated all the social aspects from the 2s and 3s years. Understanding their value as part of the group, they can take care of their own needs and those of others, and participate in pair or small and large learning groups. Daily experiences with language, literacy, and math help ensure children are prepared for academic success in kindergarten.
