 The Toddler Room is for confident walking learners ages (approx.) 18 months to 2 years old.

Children in this room focus on their growing skills - they jump and play, start making sentences from their growing vocabulary, begin learning how to follow simple directions, use toys for make-believe play, and even start toileting and napping  routines. They are busy movin' and groovin'! 

 Around the age of 2 years old, children are moved in this room work on developing language skills, practicing routines, dancing, doing finger plays, and enhancing their large motor skills. They are constantly learning about the world around them! 

 Our 2 years olds are loved and motivated as they work toward their goals. We are exploring more pretend play, starting 2 step directions, working on potty training. enhancing vocabulary with rhyming, sorting objects, building, coloring and so much more! We are focused on the task ahead! 

 The Threes Room is for our learners ages 3-4.

In this room, children are loved and encouraged as they work toward their goals. Around age 3, children establishing a "school routine" in which they come to school to play with their friends and learn new things through play. We are still working on toileting/napping routines, beginning to interact more with friends, using our knowledge of colors, shapes and numbers to sort objects, increasing our ability to sit for a story, following directions with 1-2 steps, and starting to show our independence. We are playful, curious, and determined! 

 The Fours Room is for our learners ages 4-5.

 In this room, children are loved and encouraged as they work toward their developmental goals. Around age 4, children are moved up into this room as "the big kids of the center". We are speaking in complete sentences, counting  objects, recognizing our name, beginning to have a grasp on some letters and numbers in print, possibly even writing some, creating play scenarios with our friends instead of just next to them, working on our sharing abilities, and being enabled to follow 2-3 step directions. We are rambunctious, inquisitive, and sensitive! 

 This room is part of our before and after care system. We have an AM session and a PM session. Each session runs for 2 1/2 hours and is a wonderful before and after care for students attending King George Elementary School and Potomac Elementary School.  In this classroom we learn  art projets, science, math, writing, reading, routines, social skills, and large motor development all through hands on activities and social interaction between peers.
