Our preschool plus program combines child care with early education and is designed to meet the needs of parents working outside the home. This program is open year-round, Monday—Friday 7:30am-5:30pm, and offers full and part-time scheduling. We provide meals, rest time, outdoor play, and enrichment learning activities.
Toddler (Penguins) Program
The Toddler Class is our youngest group of children, beginning at 12 months through the age of 2.5. Each child in this group is assigned to a Primary Caregiver in order to help each child bond with a caregiver. Each caregiver is assigned to a group of children for which they are responsible. These responsibilities include diaper changing, knowing each child’s food preferences, naptime routine, and medications. Both caregivers will play and interact with all the children and help each other out when needed. A Daily Sheet is sent home each night listing each child’s diaper changes, food eaten that day, and nap time, as well as some activities they participated in. The Caregivers lead a short circle time, art activities, outside time, and playtime, and read books to our children. A lesson plan is posted outside the classroom showing the theme for each week as well as a Daily Routine. Meal time is a great part of the day. This group has Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, and PM Snack, and all menus are posted outside the room.
Early Preschool (Sparrows) Program
This program has children 2.5 to 3.5 year-olds.

The children enjoy a wide range of activities that introduce music, art, beginning pre-math and science concepts, language activities, fine and large muscle activities, and lessons for their spiritual growth. We partner with parents to work on toilet training with the child. We provide meals, rest time, outdoor play, and free choice time.
