A variety of age-appropriate, sensory-stimulating activities are designed to create rich and memorable experiences.

Many special activities and events are planned throughout the year, providing additional opportunities for learning and fun.
Blue Class

12:00 pm - 2:30 pm
must be age 4 by Aug. 31
Parents work in the classroom 2-4 days per month, maintaining an adult-to-child ratio of 1:5. Our class enriches cognitive development through literacy, math, science, art, and music activities. Story time, writing centers, journaling, language activities, and dramatic play build pre-reading and writing skills. Counting, sequencing, estimating, and pattern observation develop numerical understanding. Art and music enhance creativity and expression, woven into the curriculum to reinforce learning. Every day is filled with messy fun and exploration, supported by active parental involvement.
our classrooms:
Children are hands-on learners, and our classrooms are designed to foster their natural curiosity and creativity. Our environments offer a variety of sensory and exploratory experiences to help children learn and remember concepts about the world around them.
In our classrooms, you’ll see children with their fingers in paints of every color of the rainbow, creating their own masterpieces in the art area.
They’ll be elbow-deep in the sensory table, exploring textures with rice, beans, ice, or dirt. Our reading corner invites children to discover new worlds and ideas through books.
In our pretend kitchen, fairy princesses might be dancing or cooking and serving their friends, fostering imaginative play.
You’ll see children working and playing together, engaging in science experiments, and learning to use scissors, glue, and tape to create their own art. We proudly display their creations throughout our space, with a special bulletin board dedicated to their artwork.
Our classrooms encourage children to think and act independently,
because “the greatest minds think for themselves.”
