Our Programs and Classrooms
Stepping Stones - 3K
The 3-year-old Preschool Room offers children ages 3–4 a chance to experience a preschool routine, often for the first time. Many at this age haven’t spent much time away from their parents, so we make sure they feel loved and welcomed as they work toward their developmental goals. We focus on playing cooperatively, listening to stories, following simple directions, hand washing, and so much more!
Surround Care
The Surround Care Room is for our learners who need care beyond the 4K day (before or after). In this room, children are loved and promoted as they work on their goals. In this room we provide structure and educational play to get children ready for kindergarten while teaching them to play and interact with kids their own age. We will incorporate lessons through songs and hands on activities that focus on identifying colors, numbers, shapes and letters, fine and gross motor skills, and social skills. We are becoming more independent and finding our place in this big big world!
Get Kids Ready - 4K
For kids turning 4 by September 1st, our Get Kids Ready classes offer both morning and afternoon sessions. Each runs for 2 hours and 40 minutes and serves as a great introduction to Kindergarten. Led by DPI-licensed teachers, our play-based curriculum follows the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards. Through hands-on activities and peer interaction, we explore art, science, math, writing, reading, routines, social skills, and large motor development. We also include field trips and guest visitors to bring our themes to life.
Infant 1 Room
The Infant 1 Room is designed for our non-walking learners. Here, children are nurtured and supported as they work toward their milestones. We focus on building their first routines, helping them get comfortable with new faces, practicing rolling over, sitting up, developing hand-eye coordination, enjoying tummy time, strengthening their core, learning to stand, and so much more!
Infant 2 Room
The Infant 2 Room is designed for little ones who are just starting to walk. Around age one, children transition here to work on walking with and without support, building daily routines, drinking from a cup, using words, pointing to body parts, and so much more! It’s a stage where their personalities really start to shine.
Toddler Room
The Toddler Room is designed for confident walkers, roughly 15 months to 2 years old. Here, little ones focus on building their skills—they jump, play, start forming sentences from their expanding vocabulary, learn to follow simple directions, engage in make-believe play with toys, and even begin toileting and napping routines. These busy toddlers are always movin’ and groovin’!
2 Year Old Room
The 2-Year-Old Room is designed for curious little explorers. Around this age, children transition into the space to build language skills, practice daily routines, dance, enjoy finger plays, and develop their large motor abilities. They’re always discovering new things about the world around them!
2 1/2 Year Old Room
The 2 1/2-year-old room is for our little explorers. Here, children are nurtured and encouraged as they work toward their goals. Around this age, they transition into this space to focus on their growing skills. We dive into more pretend play, begin practicing two-step directions, work on potty training, and boost vocabulary through rhyming. We also enjoy sorting objects, building, coloring, and so much more—all while staying focused on the adventures ahead!
3 Year Old Room
The 3’s Room is for learners ages 3-4. Here, children are nurtured and encouraged as they work toward their goals. Around age 3, they transition into this room to begin a “school routine,” coming to play with friends and explore new ideas through play. We focus on toileting and napping routines, building social skills, using colors, shapes, and numbers to sort objects, improving our ability to sit for stories, following simple directions, and showing independence. We are playful, curious, and determined!
3 1/2 Year Old Room
Step into a cheerful space where curiosity thrives and young minds embark on their path of discovery! Our 3-year-old classroom is carefully designed to encourage independence, spark imagination, and support early learning through playful exploration and nature-inspired activities. At this age, children are eager to try new skills on their own every day, and our goal is to keep that enthusiasm engaged in exciting new adventures.
4-Year-Old Room
The 4’s Room is for our learners aged 4-5, where children are nurtured and encouraged as they work toward their developmental goals. Around age 4, they move up to this space as “the big kids of the center.” We’re speaking in complete sentences, counting objects, recognizing our names, starting to grasp some letters and numbers in print, maybe even writing a few, creating play scenarios with friends instead of just alongside them, practicing sharing, and learning to follow 2-3 step directions. We’re lively, curious, and sensitive!
