Meeting Your Child's Needs
In order to develop children’s social skills, cognitive skills, language skills, and fine and gross motor skills we offer learning centers which maintain a “learn through play” atmosphere. Center time is offered everyday. Children are free to explore all the centers and encouraged to try new things.
Block Center encourages problem solving skills, fine motor development, eye-hand coordination and social cooperation.
Housekeeping/Dramatic Play Center lets children use their imagination, helps make the transition from parallel play to cooperative play, gives them the opportunity to role-play and encourages language development.

Manipulatives are offered on a daily basis and will change from day to day. They encourage eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, size and shape discrimination and problem solving.
Art Activities include painting at the easel, free art using a variety of materials and teacher directed art projects. Art projects promote fine motor skills while experimenting with lines and shapes, color recognition and an exposure to creative expression.

Child Centered Activities are offered daily. They relate to a theme, a child’s interest or a story. We are continually changing toys/equipment to encourage different skills and meet each child’s individual needs.
Circle Time offers children a structured transition time from active play to snack and story time. During circle, children learn songs and fingerplays, share stories and experiences and learn to participate in a whole group experience.

Story Time provides children an interactive experience with literature. This is the time they learn to listen to stories, predict outcomes, ask questions, and develop language skills and literacy skills.
Playground Time encourages gross motor skills such as climbing, running and riding pedal equipment. Safety of self and others are stressed during outdoor play as well.
