The Montessori method suggests that children learn best in an environment that has been prepared to enable them to do things for themselves.

Our goals in the infant program include care, education, and play. We provide care to meet the daily needs of diapering, feeding, and sleeping.
By working to meet the infant's basic needs, we create a healthy and safe environment.
Infants learn to explore safely at their own pace and in their own way.
Our toddler program goals include support for the development of self-help skills. We provide stimulating activities that focus on the process, not the end result.
During this time of constant growth and exploration by busy toddlers, we encourage a can-do attitude to promote many self-help skills and develop a healthy self-concept.

We promote play as an important avenue for learning and enjoyment. Through play children discover, pretend, test, classify, organize and interact with others.
Play calls for imagination, initiative, and purpose. During active play, children practice daily living skills and are given opportunities to develop new skills.
We offer a curriculum for all ages with a variety of hands-on activities and experiences. Through play, children create, explore, and pretend.
Curriculum
We focus on building off of the strengths of each child, taking advantage of every teachable moment.
Over time, we’ve adapted to meet the high standards of today’s world of education.
By providing a nurturing and supportive environment, we make sure each child receives exactly what they need.

Feeding Children in Child Care

Family-style dining gives children the opportunity to take and eat as much food as they want during meals and snacks. In family-style dining, providers are responsible for what, when, where and create a setting that supports pleasant and positive mealtimes.
The child is responsible for how much and whether they eat a food.
We do not charge extra for meals or snacks.
