White Stars – Itty Bitties – Beginning at 6 weeks of age
In this classroom, the child grows independently in a range of developmentally appropriate activities, routines and tasks (tummy time, self-feeding, etc.).  They explore the environment freely with loving and caring supervision.

Blue Stars – Crawlers & Walkers – Approximately 12 months
Babies learn quickly at this age and are ready for a more active and mobile classroom.  Activities are implemented to build skills in coordination, balance and body awareness in a safe and supportive environment indoor and outdoors.  Infants develop the fine muscles in their hands before they develop those required for speech.  We are excited to introduce Baby Signing – a way for children to communicate before they can speak.  It’s so fun, easy and effective to sign with a baby!

Purple Stars – Beginning at 18 months
Through imagination and interactive play, these children use initiative, curiosity and persistence to learn about the world.  The Purple Stars are introduced to our Move & Groove Special to develop motor skills. They will explore the world of art in the Fine Arts Special and their appreciation of song and rhythm will be developed in our Music Special and their participation in the Spring Musical.

Green Stars – Toddlers - 2 years of age
The focus of the learning environment is on activities and settings that are interesting and important to the child and help develop the child’s potential.  At this age, children are learning to work independently and take control over themselves and others.  It is especially important to promote growth and learning in all developmental areas for toddlers.  They are busy using all their senses and learning to explore in a whole new way!  Teachers facilitate their learning to help them get more out of each and every experience. The toddlers participate in the following specials: Move & Groove, Fine Arts, Computer Lab, Rhythm and Music and the Spring Musical.
