Infant Care
Ages 6 Weeks to 12 Months
Our infant program provides the warmth, consistency, and individualized attention that your youngest child needs to feel safe and nurtured. Our educators build gentle routines around each baby’s natural rhythm, supporting early development through sensory play, responsive caregiving, and loving interaction.
Toddler Program
Ages 12 Months to 2 Years
Our toddler classroom is an active, joyful space designed for curious little minds on the move. Children explore language, independence, and early social skills through hands-on play, sensory activities, and a nurturing daily routine.
Preschool Program
Ages 3 to 4 Years
Our preschool program builds early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional foundations through the Experience Curriculum’s themed units and play-based approach. Children grow in confidence, creativity, and communication in a supportive and stimulating classroom environment.
Pre-K Program
Ages 4 to 5 Years
Our Pre-K program prepares children for the transition to kindergarten with structured learning experiences that develop reading readiness, mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and self-regulation. Aligned with Ohio’s Early Learning Standards, our Pre-K children leave us genuinely ready and excited for what comes next.
