15 Months -2.5 Year Old Toddler Age
Children learn through stimulation using sensory tables, flashcards for letters-numbers-shapes-colors, singing songs, playing with age appropriate toys for learning key concepts, puppet class time. We also develop fine motor skills through art projects such as finger painting and hand print art, outdoor play, and toys for balance and coordination. Children receive 2 healthy meals and 1 healthy snack, and have an appropriate daily nap time, and frequent diaper changing. We also offer assistance with "potty training" at this age.
3-5 Year Old Preschool Age
Children at this age have a 2 week assessment period to learn what they already know and develop a plan to teach them new important concepts. They learn through stimulation using sensory tables, flashcards for letters-numbers-shapes-colors, singing songs, playing with age appropriate toys for learning key concepts, puppet class time. We also develop fine and gross motor skills through art projects such as finger painting and hand print art, using scissors and glue, outdoor play, and age appropriate toys for gross motor skills. Children receive 2 healthy meals and 1 healthy snack, and have an appropriate daily nap time, and routine bathroom checks.
This age group can also receive weekly homework if desired, daily academic reports, and all students practice responsibility and mindfulness
