    Room to grow

    Classroom groups are organized by age, from infants to pre-kindergarten, with each room designated by a color. Teacher-to-child ratios vary by room to ensure children receive age-appropriate attention and care. You can explore our classrooms below or look up your child’s teacher.

    Teachers create weekly, developmentally appropriate lesson plans based on each child’s strengths, needs and interests. Through daily observations, teachers track individual progress and adjust the curriculum accordingly. These observations also inform the formal assessments completed for each child.

    We offer a full-day early childhood education program that includes a preschool component, as well as part-time options. Our teachers use the MyTeachingStrategies system to plan curriculum and complete regular progress checkpoints. Families meet with teachers twice a year to review goals and discuss their child’s growth. We also partner with families to use the Ages & Stages Questionnaire as a developmental screening tool.
