Ducklings (Infants) |
 |
Our infants are called the Ducklings. We welcome babies at 4 weeks of age into our infant room and they remain a Duckling until they are 12 to 13 months old. The children in our infant room receive individualized attention in our loving and nurturing environment. We have a maximum of 12 babies at any given time which ensures that your baby will have the opportunity to grow emotionally as well as physically. |

Busy Bees (1 year olds) |
 |
The Busy Bees would be our one year olds. Once your child joins our one's you will realize why this room is named the Busy Bee room. They are always buzzing with activities and non stop fun. They start potty training in this room although the room is also equipped with a diaper changing area. We provide a one to five ratio in our Busy Bee room and the maximum number of children in our Busy Bee room is 20. They learn through many different hands on activities such as play dough, dancing and story time. They are introduced to the ABC's and 123's as well as many self help skills. |

Cubs (Two's) |
 |
Toddling into our two's can be another exciting room. We again have up to 20 children with 4 staff. Potty training is coordinated with the parents so we can work together to get their child trained. As the children are developing through this most important stage of their life they are becoming familiar with their surroundings through exploration. We work on small and large motor skills, we also incorporate story and music time, art, science and computer. |

Care Bears/Jellybeans/Cool Cats |
 |
The Care Bears, Jellybeans and Cool Cats make up our pre-school program.
We separate the children into their appropriate age groups so they are working with children their own age and at their level of learning. Each of our pre-school rooms are capable of teaching 20 children with 2 staff. As they progress through our pre school rooms they advance to the next stage of development in areas such as social skills, hands on computer learning, small and large motor development, science, math, language arts, music etc. Field trips and special speakers are also used to enhance the educational experience. Our teachers and staff strive to help each child become an individual who is aware of his/her abilities and who can focus on his/her own strengths.

Apple Corps (School Age) |
 |
Apple Corps is our school age room. This program is designed to allow children to make their own choices as they grow into a new stage of their lives. School age is considered kindergarten through 5th grade. During the school year we provide transportation to and from the following schools; JFK, Oscar Howe, Laura Wilder, Jefferson, Harrisburg, Hayward, and St. Michael's. An afternoon snack is provided upon returning from school. Outside play or age appropriate activities are scheduled for the rest of the day. We provide an opportunity for school age children to do homework if they choose.
During the summer months our school age program turns into educational activities and fun. Several field trips are planned each week to keep them on the go. Some of our summer events include swimming, bowling, grill outs, hiking, park play, and much, much more. The fun in the summer goes on and on. |
