Children in the toddler room range in age from 16 months to 33 months. With a teacher-to-child ratio of 1:7, these energetic teachers can give each child individualized attention, building on foundational skills and preparing them for preschool.
Preschool
Our preschool teachers plan daily activities that engage each child and foster cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Children in the preschool room range in age from 33 months until they are eligible for kindergarten. With a teacher-to-child ratio of 1:10, our dedicated teachers can focus on each child’s individual growth, continuing to build foundational skills and preparing them for a successful transition to kindergarten.
