    Our classrooms are designed to make learning fun while instilling vital 21st-century skills such as teamwork, problem-solving and social-emotional relationships. Our exclusive education program, Wonder of Learning, leverages the classroom environment and the questions children pose to create exploratory experiences that fuel a lifelong love of learning.

Infant Classroom

You want the best for your infant — and our teachers do, too. In our Infant classroom, your little one will establish bonds and relationships with their teachers; use their senses to investigate the world around them; develop language skills and ways to express themselves; and develop gross and fine motor strength.

Teachers will observe each baby closely to notice what interests them and offer materials that will extend their thinking and increase their motivation. Some things your little one will learn include:
  • Imitating sounds
  • Speaking up to three words
  • Responding to simple instructions
  • Using objects to explore cause and effect (what happens when I drop my bottle?)

Toddler Classroom

A lifelong love of learning starts early, and we believe in providing little learners with the tools they need to be successful in school and life. Expert teachers foster emotional development through nurturing relationships, while supporting your child as they develop academic, social and physical skills.

Some things your child will learn include:
  • Speaking in simple sentences
  • Singing songs and dancing to music
  • Naming basic shapes and colors
  • Counting in order from one to five

Twos Classroom

Your toddler is constantly on-the-go, asking questions and learning new things about the world around them. Your child will participate in more group experiences to expand their social skills, practice expressive language skills and work toward greater language comprehension.

 They will also learn how to identify and navigate big feelings. In this classroom, children can exert greater independence and participate in self-care activities like putting on their jacket or washing their hands with minimal assistance. Some things they will learn include:
  • Engaging in pre-reading behaviors (re-telling a story from memory, turning book pages correctly, holding a book properly, etc.)
  • Identifying patterns in their environment
  • Recognizing some letters in their name
  • Asking questions to discover the answers

Bridge Classroom

As little ones begin to transition to preschool routines and new ways of play, our Bridge classroom supports all areas of continuous development, setting your child up for success in and out of the classroom.

Children will further develop their fine motor skills by writing and drawing with increased intentionality. As their social awareness and relationship skills grow, they will collaborate with teachers or classmates when solving a problem, approach materials and problem-solving with greater flexibility and initiate parts of the daily routine, demonstrating classroom citizenship skills. Some things they will learn include:
  • Counting in order from one to 20
  • Remembering and following multi-step directions
  • Using the toilet and engaging in other self-care routines with assistance
  • Identifying their name in print

Preschool Classroom

Preschoolers are explorers who enjoy learning about their environment and making connections to their own experiences and familiar concepts. In this classroom, your child will experiment with writing, drawing and painting with a purpose.

Children will begin to problem-solve simple solutions on their own using their understanding of cause and effect. They will also begin to follow and create their own rules in play and cooperative games. Some other things your child will learn include:
  • Counting in order from one to 30
  • Recognizing and naming letters out of order
  • Practicing good habits and personal safety with minimal adult assistance
  • Matching rhythm, volume and pitch of rhymes, songs and chants

Pre-Kindergarten Classroom

Our Pre-Kindergarten program helps your child learn more about themselves, others and the world around them. Children enjoy creating complex play scenarios with their friends and begin to set boundaries to follow during play. 

The Pre-Kindergarten classroom is a place where stories come to life for children as do their ideas and questions. They will practice finding multiple solutions to problems, completing tasks with increased independence and develop deeper friendships. Some other things your child will learn include:
  • Dressing themselves independently, including outwear
  • Recognizing all letters in uppercase and lowercase
  • Beginning to count by 10s
  • Identifying, describing, comparing and constructing 2D and 3D shapes
