Individual Classrooms:

• Chick Room (ages 6 weeks - 12 months)
  
  Every infant has their own personal schedule. Diapers are changed, free play is initiated and feedings occur according to individual needs.

• Raindrop Room (ages 6 months - 24 months)
  

  Infants learn to regulate their mood, attention span, behavior and thinking as they develop socially and intellectually through the play and support offered.

• Sunshine Room (ages 18 months - 3 years)
  
  We promote independence skills in toileting and dressing. We encourage self-dressing, putting on shoes, socks, coats, etc. This is the time for independence and encouragement. A toddler's famous last words are, "Me do it!"
  
  Time is allowed for creativity in all areas of play. Our curriculum consists of age-appropriate choices to enable simple decision making and cultivate communication skills.
  
  Learning choices include books, blocks, music, dancing/pretend play, small manipulative toys, sand/water play and creative art activities.
  
  Physical activity promotes brain development and learning so toddlers are offered plenty of time to ride, climb, run and move!
