Classrooms:
Lambs (infants)
Our smallest children are cared for with love and joy, in a group of no more than eight infants with three teacher/caregivers.
Our infant program has the following goals:
- To provide a secure Christian environment in a loving, caring atmosphere, where infants can grow, play and learn
- To promote communication skills through sign language and verbal interactions with caregivers
- To discover new environments and tools through manipulation and exploration
- To coordinate and develop body movements and senses while playing and learning
Teddy Bears and Bumblebees (younger and older toddlers)
We treasure our toddlers for their exuberance and their love of learning new things. Toddlers are split into two groups of up to eight children, with at least two teachers in each group.
- To provide a secure Christian environment in a loving, caring atmosphere, where toddlers can grow, play and learn
- To promote communication skills through sign language, books and stories, and verbal interactions with caregivers
- To discover new understandings of their world through manipulation and exploration
- To provide the support and guidance needed for each child as they learn and develop at their own pace

Butterflies (three year olds)
Toddlers transition to our three year old class between 33 and 35 months of age.
Our Butterflies just blossom in a group of up to 14 children, staffed with three teachers.
- Children at this age are learning how to play with one another, and create wonderful stories through their play.
- The children learn through their play, interacting with each other in a positive way, learning to work together as a team and by problem solving. Teachers guide, support and reinforce positive behavior.

We can accommodate children of Kindergarten age for the morning and after school time, surrounding an afternoon Kindergarten class. We can also accommodate Kindergarteners who have an alternate day Kindergarten schedule. Our Eagle class may have as many as 24 children, taught by four staff members.
