Programs
Infants
Our infant teachers strive to form close bonds with every child and their family. We understand that infants grow and learn best in a warm, loving, enriching environment and we provide the safety and confidence they need to do just that. In our Infant rooms our focus is on each individual child and meeting their needs. We work closely with each family to provide personalized care. Each child’s development is supported through daily activities, routines, and play.
Toddler
A bright and active room with complete freedom of choice in play and learning is key to a toddler’s healthy development. Our toddler teachers understand each child’s needs and work closely with families to reach appropriate milestones. In our Toddler Classrooms child-led activities encourage each learner’s unique ideas and interests. Ongoing communication and collaboration with families is very important to us as children at this age transition and grow.

Early Preschool
Our EPS room provides students with a variety of activities to help stimulate their independence, language, social, gross motor, fine motor, and cognitive skills. Activities such as music, painting, reading, and exploring, are just a few events that are offered to the students daily. Individual potty-training support is given to all our students when developmentally ready.
Jr. Pre-K
Our Jr. Pre-K curriculum integrates play-based and formal learning to gently introduce students to a traditional classroom setting. Through the use of daily lesson plans, we focus on developmentally appropriate themes and activities that provide a nurturing environment for exploration and learning. Your child will learn about science, be creative through art and music, define spatial relationships through build activities, and develop large and small muscles while building a great foundation for Pre-K..
Sr. Pre-K
Our PK class is designed to prepare your 4 or 5-year-old for Kindergarten. Our emergent-based curriculum and lesson plans target all the current standards for Kindergarten readiness. In addition to the curriculum, our program components form a playful and inspiring environment, allowing children to blossom and grow to their fullest potential. Each Pre-K classroom is made up of small grouped learning stations in which students may partake throughout the school day. Some stations include dramatic play, arts and crafts, fine motor activities, building blocks, literacy centers, mathematics, large motor skills, and social-emotional development activities.
Before & After school
We offer after school care for elementary students in the area. Our teachers staff is prepared to offer your student a snack, a helping hand for homework, and a listening ear after a long day at school. It is our goal for our center to be a comfortable and enriching environment, so all children feel loved and cared for.

Summer camp
Every summer, we offer summer camp options for preschool and elementary students. Our teachers create exciting and fun activities with new themes each week. Our goal is to encourage fun filled learning and discovering all summer long but with loads of fun added to it!
Curriculum
The first five years of a child’s life are an exciting and critical time. Our curriculum is designed to capitalize on this. We use STREAM³ curriculum in all our classrooms, from infants to PreK. STREAMin³ is grounded in developmental and early education research. It focuses on 6 STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) and 5 Core Skills (Relate, Regulate, Think, Communicate, and Move) to promote children’s development and early learning.
To increase accessibility to high quality curriculum, the Virginia Department of Education and the University of Virginia’s Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning offers STREAMin³ for all publicly funded birth-to-five schools. The curriculum provides a high-quality option for infant, toddler, preschool, and mixed-age classrooms. STREAMin³ includes ongoing training and professional development to support educators that choose to use the model in their programs, so our teachers can have access to everything they need.
