Infant Program (1 mo - 1 yr)
All our classes are organized by age and development stage to offer the best and safest learning experience. We keep our shoes outside the classroom. Babies love to explore! When they start crawling, it is essential to let them explore their surroundings. They also love to put everything they can in their mouths. Therefore, keeping shoes out of the classroom is a great way to keep surfaces clean and safe. There is no one-size-fits-all. All our families come from different backgrounds and have their own family cultures. ​Hence, we work with all parents to develop your baby’s daily schedule to offer the best and smoothest transition possible and stay happy and healthy. ​We keep all our baby cribs clear of any blanket, toy, or pillow. A tight fitted protective sheet covers all our mattresses. Our infant play area is a safe place filled with age-appropriate toys and baby books. We keep that place organized and clean throughout the day.
Toddlers Program (1 - 3 yrs)
Our toddler program is designed to stimulate your toddler to learn and develop new skills. Most importantly, our priority is the health, wellness, and safety of toddlers, families, and staff. Therefore, explore how we keep our communities safe. Throughout the day, your toddler is safely exploring in the classroom and is encouraged to observe things, interact with peers and teachers in group and individual work, explore their surroundings, and test new things. All our toddler classes are organized for their age and development stage to offer the best and safest learning experience. ​Toddlers are busy learners, and our classrooms are organized to provide maximum exposure to learning opportunities. Toddlers love to explore! We work on motor skills, imagination, textures, science experiments, and cause and effect. Our sensory tables are at the kids’ level and allow safe team collaboration and individual learning. It is essential to let toddlers explore and discover something new every day. Therefore, our sensory and activity tables are a critical component of our STEAM-based lessons. All our walls are covered with artwork, graphical content for our lessons, and family pictures for your toddler to feel well and create a community sense. ​ We use all these visual elements to help your toddler learn to count, the alphabet, sight words, the days of the week, the months of the year, the weather, and many more.
Preschool Program (3 - 5 yrs)
We put all our energy into creating a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where your preschooler and family will feel safe and well and learn everything they need to know for a smooth and successful transition to Kindergarten and beyond. Your preschooler is enticed to participate in purposeful play and fun and non-stressful developmental activities throughout the day. ​Our preschool teachers guide their young students in different learning activities and direct instruction to prepare them to write, read, and math. All our preschool classes are organized for their age and development stage to offer the best and safest learning experience. ​Preschoolers are busy learners, and our classrooms are organized to provide maximum exposure to learning opportunities.
Kindergarten Program (5 - 6 yrs)
We provide a unique top-rated education and exposure to learning opportunities to all of our kindergarten students. We’ve positioned ourselves as an alternative to busy modern families who do not have the schedule flexibility imposed by the local Unionville Chadds Ford School District for Kindergarten. Our kindergarten program caters to parents who value a lower student-teacher ratio per classroom, allowing for better interactions, ideal learning conditions and care. Our class hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. We offer FREE Before or After Care to accommodate busy parents' schedules. ​We do not close up to 2 times every month for teacher's in-services. Parents do not have to worry about finding any back-up plan.
Mon-Fri , 8:30am - 3:00pm
Summer Camp (5 - 12 yrs)
​We welcome all summer campers from age 5 to 12 in our West Chester, Chadds Ford, Kennett Square, and Avondale locations. We offer different camp experiences for age-appropriate learning and activities. Our summer camps focus on different age groups to learn and make new friends.
