Daycare

These full day classes meet Monday through Friday. The preschool curriculum is included each morning for ages two through six. Children in infant and one year old classes are taught as teachers provide love for each child as they meet physical, social and emotional needs throughout the day.

The Lippincott ‘Beginning to Read Series” is used to teach phonics. The Addison-Wesley curriculum is used in conjunction with manipulatives to teach math. Field trips and visitors are scheduled to enrich unit topics.
