Our Programs
Infants
Infants: 6 Weeks – 12 Months
Your baby’s first year of life is an amazing time, filled with discovery and enormous growth. Our nursery is designed to create a warm and secure environment for your infant. From the peaceful sleeping alcove to the big rocking chairs where babies are held and fed, your child is in a very loving place when they arrive at Little Learner’s.
Your baby will build early language skills through playful songs, rhymes, conversation, imitation, and stories. Recognizing voices, associating actions with sounds and movement, and making their own special sounds will all be a part of their development and growth.
Our low ratio between teacher and infants ensures that your baby will have the most personalized care, attention, and opportunities for development. Tummy time with other babies will give each little one an opportunity to play with others and find friendships at an early age.
Our teachers will provide you with daily communication about your baby’s day. Our daily reports include your baby’s eating, sleeping and diapering schedule, and special comments from the teachers on needs.
One Year Olds
Infants: 6 Weeks – 12 Months
What an exciting time for your little one! Your child will be exploring the world on his own: crawling, climbing, walking, running, pushing, pulling, and learning about potty-training! Little Learner’s teachers will be there to provide support for your child’s progress in a fun and active learning environment. Your toddler will practice hand washing, putting on a coat, picking up toys, and sharing with friends.
The curriculum in our Toddler program is used to develop language skills and vocabulary, and to provide activities of cooperative group time to promote socialization among the children. We teach basic facts such as colors and shapes, we also introduce the alphabet and numbers.
Toddlers will have a consistent program and daily schedule to help promote a child’s feeling of security and self-confidence. Life skills of sitting, self-feeding and clean-up will all be introduced and worked on. Each skill will increase and develop throughout the program.
Two Year Olds: 24 Months – 36 Months
Infants: 6 Weeks – 12 Months
Our Two year old program emphasizes the development of the whole child, by focusing on both education fundamentals and social skills. Our caring teachers keep small hands busy and young minds engaged through activities designed specifically for this age group.
Daily small-group instruction and a variety of activities promotes skill development and learning concepts that is the perfect balance of nurturing, learning and playtime. Encouragement and support that lead to confidence, self-esteem and a love of learning for your child while they begin to exert their independence.
Your child will also build skills and confidence through games, songs, movement and art, as our experienced teachers provide an outlet for creative expression and group play. By encouraging child-directed play, we ensure that your child develops at his or her own pace. Sharing, cooperating and taking turns teaches your child the importance of being a team player.
In this stage we attempt to finalize potty training. Although children potty-train at their own pace, you and your child’s teacher will work together at the right time to provide the best environment for success.
Three Year olds
Infants: 6 Weeks – 12 Months
Preschool children are curious, active, and social learners who are exploring their newly found sense of independence. We encourage this independence with just the right combination of teacher guided and child directed activities in a classroom environment specifically designed for them.
Our preschool classroom is divided into academically based learning centers including Language & Literacy, Science, Math, Blocks & Transportation, Dramatic Play, Art, Music and Movement, and Fine Motor/Manipulatives. These centers are set up for independent and small group activities where the children have ample time for hands-on exploration. During center time, teachers interact with the children, ask questions, set up learning experiences, encourage higher level thinking skills, and inspire creativity.
