Our day starts at 7:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM. We follow a routine each day and get outside as much as weather permits. My backyard is fenced in with lots of Little Tykes toys, sandbox and jungle gym to play on. So far this winter we have made it out in the snow to build snowmen and forts, if everyone brings their snow gear. During the summer we have weekly Splash Days with a slip n slide, wading pool, and sprinkler. We have at least an hour of free play each day. We rotate toys sets each week so that your little ones mind is always stimulated with new ways to play. We are a Non-Smoking Home, Pet Friendly Home.

We believe in learning thru play balanced with:

• Music Time – Singing, Dancing and Tumbling
• Story Time – We read books daily. Scholastic program available to encourage reading at home
• Craft Time – Baking, painting, or just coloring every week.
• Science Time – Basic experiments, estimation, nature, etc.
• Manipulatives – lacing, play dough, tracing, beads, puzzles to encourage finger dexterity
• Play time/free time – outdoors and in
• Computer time – Fisher Price Cool Skool available to older kids
• Lots of Love

We learn ABC’s – letter recognition and letter sounds, counting, numbers, days of the week, shapes, colors. 3’s and up are encouraged to read books to me and practice writing skills beginning in Tracing workbooks. We work on learning how to spell and write our names. Learn our phone numbers and addresses. Basic sight words for Pre –K.

We focus on social interactions. We use our words to express feelings. We use our hands to help and not hurt. We use our ears to listen and follow directions. We use our manners to make our friends feel appreciated.
