Preschool & Infant Classroom
We have two classrooms, one for infants (6 weeks-2 years) and one for preschoolers (2-5 years). Our infant classroom has one teacher with a max of 4 children and our preschool classroom has one teacher with a max of 10 children.
Curriculum
We use Experience Early Learning curriculum at our school. It includes monthly themes with daily topics to keep children engaged in their learning. Every day we have circle time activities, centers, an art project, and a story that match the daily theme.
Trips to the Park
Our school is located right across from Bard Park. We love to make trips over there when the weather is nice.
Organic & Gluten Free Food
I have celiac disease so our school provides gluten free food for our students. For my own safety as well as the safety of any children with allergies, we do not allow outside food (aside from breastmilk).
