Music & Movement


Staying active is important to all of us so why not add some music. From singing and dancing to exercising or aerobics, we are always moving!

Table Activities


Whether we are crafting, practicing early writing & math skills or mastering those fine motor & cognitive skills, we sit down as a group to learn and help one another.



Outdoor Play


When the weather permits, we enjoy the great outdoors. Whether we are playing games to boost their imagination or simply throwing a ball around, outdoor play helps your child to explore and build social skills.

Story Time


We LOVE to read here. Each day I read no less than two stories to help us build literacy skills.

Additional books are read throughout the day as well, depending on our lesson for the day and/or at the children's request.
