Preschoolers: Ages 3, 4, and 5 will vary in placement based on physical well-being and motor development, approaches to learning, social and emotional development, math and science, and creative arts. Observation is used in many forms to determine if your child is outside of their peers’ bracket otherwise, they will fall into the following classes: 3-year-old: Your child will gain independence while getting ready for the transition into our 4-year old classroom. With improved coordination, social and cognitive skills the world begins to open for our young preschoolers. Based on our previously learned curriculum we will continue to build upon the language, math, science, Spanish, social skills, and physical activities. Each day your child will explore a variety of cultures, doing simple addition and subtraction, creating simple patterns, singing songs, science experiments, art projects, and creating music. 4-year-old: Preschool is a crucial start to a child’s successful journey towards elementary school and future academic success. We will focus on following multi-step instruction, Spanish, finding multiple ways to solve problems, blended sounds, reading site words, organizing work, controlling impulses, and sustaining attention, as well as more complex math problems. 5-year-old: Kindergarten level learning experiences. Because children’s outcomes are influenced by multiple environments and targeting age appropriate materials, we will be grouping children based on their individual needs and skills. This group will focus on kindergarten readiness skills such as: writing, phonemic awareness, counting (one item) and cardinality (total number in a set), introduce money/time, reading readiness, independent reading to build stamina and teacher read aloud for a deeper understanding of expression, vocabulary words and improved concentration to name a few. Our specialized approach to the education of young children will enable your child to become an independent thinker, a confident learner, understand friendships, and a strong contributor to their family and deeper community.

Infant (birth to 12 months): We will provide consistent opportunities for loving interaction. We will prioritize quality time and ensure our babies have all their needs met. Reading stories, playing with puppets, and signing to our babies all help build a meaningful connection. We have countless age appropriate educational materials/toys to actively engage your baby in sensory stimulation, cognitive awareness, and motor development. The techniques used in our infant classrooms create a strong foundation, which will carry over to the next age level. Older Infant (12 months to 18 months): When your child is moving all over the place, they are discovering their world. As children’s mobility grows, we give them plenty of room to move and discover. We also guide them toward developing new physical skills and achieving emerging milestones. Infants learn best in safe, loving places where they can explore, in their own way. The activities for this age group are built around limitless curiosity and their natural desire to push boundaries.

Hello Families, A lot of thought and planning has gone into our changes relating to COVID-19. These changes are a part of our overall goals and will allow us the structure we need to offer excellent care and age-appropriate academics to your children. Some of the changes include adding full-time cleaners to clean and disinfect classrooms on a daily basis, as well as following all of the CDC guidelines (e.g. mandatory face masks, temperature checks, etc.). Click "Learn More" for more information. We are excited to offer full-time services in a private center setting that thrives on consistency and structure each and every day. Our bright, sunny and very clean classrooms bring a sense of joy while our children learn and explore. Our huge gymnasium will be active with yoga and other fun activities. Our kindergarten-based academics will prepare our preschoolers for the ever-evolving kindergarten expectations. Coming soon to our media room area will be a computer lab, cooking area, and over a thousand books! Our precious infant and toddler area will thrive on age-appropriate activities offering daily gross and fine motor activities, art and/or music, sign language, outside play, and/or daily walks. Our goal is to transform this beautiful center that is located in an ideal location for local or commuting parents to be the best choice for children in Licking County. We have an exceptional instructor team who have been training and prepping their classrooms during their time off. They are also excited about the changes and are looking forward to seeing your children in their classrooms. See you soon!
