Seedlings
Whether this is your first baby or your third, relinquishing care can be an intimidating thing. We know how important it is to have open communication with you. Our Seedlings teachers will work closely with you to create a schedule that fits your routine and your child(ren)'s needs. Each lesson plan is created with the knowledge that the world is a big, new adventure, just waiting to be discovered. There is a large focus on the five senses and as your baby grows, preparing them to move up to the next room, Sprouts.

Sprouts
​
Navigating this world can be tough, especially when we're still learning how to use our bodies and control our emotions. We know that a lot of patience is required (from us and the kiddos!) during this phase and work hard to make sure your child(ren) feels safe and loved through this time. The lessons plans in Sprouts revolve largely around fine motor and gross motor activities with the goal of honing these skills. There is an additional focus on our happies and our sads, knowing that our emotions are okay, and learning how to control our behavior through these new feelings.

Saplings​
Welcome to the tremendous twos! This stage in your kiddo's life is a dance of patience and sternness and love. Now that your little has discovered the world and has gained some control of their bodies and emotions, it's time to enhance these skills and help them develop their personalities. In Saplings your child(ren) will begin practice with scissors, help set the table for lunch, and continue their general education (shapes, colors, counting, etc.), among other things. The goal of Saplings is to prepare your kiddo to move up to the next room, Buds.

Buds
If you've got yourself a little threenager, you'll likely be dropping them in Buds. This room is about building on everything your kiddo has learned up until this point and preparing them to transition to preschool. Here we encourage more social and interactive play, incoprorate more structured play, and work on teaching them intentionality with their toys. We will continue to build their confidence as they come into their own and support their growing personalities.

Blossoms
Your kiddo is in Blossoms; congratulations! This is the place your child(ren) will come to learn all they need to know to begin kindergarten. Lesson plans in this room are more academic and goal-oriented.
