We accept up to 24 children
24-40 months of age. The classes are divided into 2 rooms and children go into
the room that best suits their developmental needs. The children are assessed
where they are developmentally and are placed into whichever class will be
better for what they need to learn. Typically, children are ready to be in the
“older” classroom around the age of 32 months. These classrooms work on their
toilet-training skills so they share a restroom that is between the rooms with a
door in both classes.
Bumblebees: We maintain a ratio of 4 children to 1 teacher under normal
operating circumstances. We have 3 full-time teachers for this classroom. The
children in this classroom build on the skills they learned in the Butterfly’s
class. They have a daily circle time, participate in art and sensory activities,
play outdoors, and experience free play in centers. They develop their social
skills by eating as a group, walking outdoors as a group, learning to sit with
their friends during circle time as well as learning to use words to express
their feelings as opposed to actions. A planned program of activities is
provided for our learning centers which enhance independent and group learning
of various concepts and skills. This classroom focuses on memorizing the
alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors. They have a daily Spanish flashcard
lesson. The Bumblebees work on various fine motor skills such as stacking large
blocks, lacing large beads, and coloring with crayons.
Dragonflies: We maintain a ratio of 6 children to 1 teacher under normal
operating circumstances. We have 2 full-time caregivers for this classroom. The
