We serve children from six weeks to twelve-years-old. Our curriculum is directly linked to the Pennsylvania Learning Standards, which is utilized in the surrounding school districts. This allows us to create a universal continuum of education for your child, which is age and developmentally appropriate. In accordance with your child's development we conduct three formal evaluations per year: in Fall, Winter, and Spring. We also complete informal observations and an individual portfolio, which includes all of this information along with pictures, artwork, and for the preschool children, writing samples. The teachers participate in parent conferences when the formal evaluations are distributed and on an as needed basis.

Below you will find a more in-depth description of the curriculum for each age group:


Our infant program is designed to support and enhance your child’s development as they achieve milestones at their individual pace.  Our main focus is on each infant’s language, cognitive and sensory development.  Since infants explore their environment through their senses we strive to provide them with the most meaningful experiences possible.  As a result, we fill our classrooms with different textured materials, mirrors for self-exploration, bright and colorful multicultural pictures and toy labels, various types of blocks and noise making instruments, and other developmentally appropriate materials.
Toddlers explore environments with their senses and through play.  Because of this we focus on incorporating all of the curriculum areas into a play-oriented environment.  We sing a variety of songs with movements; crawl, jump, and roar as we pretend to be animals; learn words through speaking and sign language; and tell stories through finger plays and puppet shows.  We also teach the toddlers to express themselves through dance, physical activity and dramatic play!  It is at this stage where we also begin to lay a foundation for proper behavior skills.
Our preschool has a theme based curriculum that allows the children to discover, experience, and learn about their world in various contexts.  Our teachers are assigned a theme, letter and number to cover each week.  They take those items and integrate them into the learning areas and centers in their classroom.  For example:  If the theme is DINOSAURS the children may compare the sizes and shapes of dinosaurs for math; learn about carnivores and herbivores for science; read “Dinosaurs Roar” and learn the letter “D(d)” for language arts; build a dinosaur cave in the block area; make dinosaur masks for dramatic play; do the dinosaur stomp for gross motor development; learn about dinosaur environments and where they lived for social studies; and make dinosaur tracks with stamp pads for art.
Our school age program offers support with homework as well as arts and crafts, games, and other activities, which continue into the summer camp program.  On days off during the school year we plan age appropriate field trips or on-site programs along with special art projects and organized sports!

Learning Centers consist of, but are not limited to:


Math: Manipulative, Sorting, Matching, Puzzles, and Sequencing

Science: measuring, Computers, Exploration, Sand & Water, and Discovery

Languages: Pre-writing, Pre-reading, Storytelling, Tracing, Library, and Dramatic Play

Social Studies: Creative Play, Children around the World, and Local Field Trips

Art: Creativity using all mediums of art- Painting, Collages, Ripping, Cutting, Tearing and Gluing and  Appreciation of color and design and the development of fine motor response.

Computer Kids: Hands-on learning for the preschool child with the computer.

We believe that one way children learn is through play. Therefore, children deserve an atmosphere, which allows them to explore, imagine and dream!
We understand that age appropriate programs create the basis of learning, which is very important to their future as students. We strive to offer extracurricular activities that are interactive and fun for each age group.  The programs we offer to fulfill those needs are:

-Toddlers:  Our toddlers participate in bi-weekly Sign Language classes.  During class  they learn signs for everyday words that are beneficial for helping them to communicate their needs.  

-Preschool:  Our preschoolers participate in bi-weekly Fitness classes.  During class they learn various exercises, games, and team building skills.

-Pre-K:  Our pre-k students participate in bi-weekly Spanish classes.  During class they learn various words, numbers, songs, and poems that assist them with basic communication in Spanish which provides them with a solid base for continuing their learning process in grade school.

-School-Age:  Our school-age children participate in a variety of on-site activities and off-site field trips during the summer and on days off from school. (Check the School-Age/Summer Camp link for more information).


All of our Special Programs are included with the tuition so that there is no extra charge for our families.  This allows every child to participate!
