Programs

Diverse Learning Environments

Infants

Our youngest program welcomes babies as young as 12 months old. Highly specialized infant teachers offer a nurturing, loving, creative world to help our littlest learners’ minds and bodies develop. We know that every moment with an infant is precious, and we are committed to making you feel comfortable that Preketta will be a second home to your baby.
The specially designed infant room is a place where babies feel safe, secure and happy. Individual cribs, separate areas for changing and feeding, and a “no shoes” policy ensure clean playing, eating and sleeping spaces.
Your baby will develop and learn more in his first years of life than at any other point. Through age-appropriate games and activities, our experienced and loving teachers lay the foundation for later learning and help infants develop early cognitive and motor skills. We know that you are your child’s most important teacher and, therefore, we will communicate daily with you about your child’s growth.

Toddlers

Our Toddler program encourages children to use their bodies, senses and their emerging problem-solving skills to learn about and make sense of their world in the ways most meaningful for them. We balance individual attention with group experiences and ensure that your toddler is using all that energy in productive ways.
Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that young children learn best through hands-on experiences. Each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

Preschool

Preschool is the beginning. It’s an opportunity to start off just right.
Fostering a sense of wonder and an excitement for learning, Preschool is a hands-on, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate program for young children. We strive not simply to shape young minds, but to inspire them. We aim to spark a fascination that lasts into Kindergarten and long beyond.
As 3 and 4 year-olds learn best by doing, Preschool children have innumerable opportunities to explore, try new things, and grow. Children are encouraged to interact and role-play in both a dramatic play area and outside; construct structures with blocks; build with a variety of manipulative materials; use mixed media such as paints, play dough, and sculpture materials; investigate science through exploration; and begin to appreciate literature through listening to stories. These, as well as many other play-based activities, promote positive social, emotional, and academic growth. Our balanced approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they will need as they continue on to Kindergarten.
From learning how to master materials, to learning how to share and be part of a group, our Preschool children establish and enhance a well-rounded foundation for future learning and development.

Foundation for Success

Young children turn to adults for emotional security and for opportunities to learn. Infants need care and education and close, nurturing relationships that provide them with a secure base for exploration, learning, and discovery. We know that the experiences we offer infants have a lasting impact on their future success.
