The Divers - 2 years to 3 years
Diving into a new room and ready to explore new things, our two and three year old are always ready for an adventure.  Exploring with sensory activities, art activities and singing and dancing are a few of the favorite things that take place every day.  Weekly themes that introduce concepts such as colors, shapes, letters and numbers are always implanted. 

The Voyagers - 3 years to 4 years
On a voyage into our 1st preschool aged child care room, children explore many different areas from imaginative play, centers, creative arts and music.  Weekly themes along with zoo phonics are introduced each week.  Stories and songs are shared daily with circle time activities.
