Baby Bees
6 Weeks - 18 Months
Infants need a safe, nurturing environment to begin exploring the world around them. We provide the support and tools for them to learn and grow. They will develop their first words, make their first friends, and take their first steps. Socially they will imitate and respond to others and follow simple directions. Intellectually they will learn and respond to their own name. Physically they will learn to crawl and walk. Emotionally they learn to express their emotions.
Toddler Turtles
6 Weeks - 18 Months
We help toddlers develop their curiosity, self-help skills (handwashing), and form friendships in a safe and nurturing environment. Since they learn best by doing, each day’s curriculum includes fun activities as they develop their vocabulary and make friends. We have a balance of music, art, and movement.
Group time is important as well as child-directed activities (art and sensory). Individual differences and developmental ability is taken into account. Playing alongside others rather than alone is seen. Learning to share and cooperate is important. They develop imagination and explore dramatic play and use their senses to investigate their surroundings. They problem-solve and make predictions.
Social skills are developed by listening and responding to others, by identifying and naming familiar items, by engaging in conversation using pictures and puppets, following directions, and answering questions. They begin to identify their own feelings and those of others.
Emotional skills are developed by expressing emotions appropriately, listening to storytelling, and interacting with other children.
Physical skills are developed through songs and rhymes about body parts, crawling, jumping, running, kicking, dancing, and tossing. Drawing, pouring, cutting, and stringing, enhances eye-hand coordination (fine motor).
Intellectual skills are developed through identifying and sorting basic colors, identifying numbers and counting. Instruments are used to teach cause and effect through trial and error.
Junior Jellyfish
6 Weeks - 18 Months
Our Jellyfish learn to problem solve through academically enriched activities that reinforce cognitive skill development in meaningful ways. These fun and engaging activities spark an interest in learning that can last a lifetime!
We also teach our Jellyfish social concepts such as please and thank you, cooperation, and working in groups.
Of course, there is plenty of running, jumping, throwing and other physical activities to help balance and coordination.

Emotional development is focused on discussing goals and shared experiences, and gaining a sense of accomplishment and pride.
Physical skills include engaging in team sports, developing fine motor skills, and learning healthy nutrition.
Intellectually, they will learn to ask questions and draw conclusions, gain advanced language and listening skills, build on their vocabulary, understand and follow instructions, and gain increased exposure to math and science.
