Our classrooms are divided by age groups that are most conducive to the development of each child's skills.  Children feel especially comfortable with safe, child-sized furniture and equipment in the bright, clean environment that they share for class and play.

Our teachers are highly qualified and receive on-going training.  All are certified in first aid and have attended the Oregon Child Care Basics program.

Infant Program

Our Infant Program has been developed especially for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 1½ years of age.

We like to begin teaching at an early age by introducing colors, shapes, letters and numbers.  We teach our infants simple sign language as a form of communication.  Sensory is a great way to stimulate children.  We offer sensory activities, such as, coloring, finger painting, sensory balls, musical instructions and a variety of colorful blocks.  We encourage group activities such as stories, art projects, finger play and musical movement.

Toddler Program

Our Toddler Program is devised especially for children between the ages of 1½ years and 2½ years.

We work on letter, number, shape and animal recognition through group games and songs.  We are beginning to introduce the Spanish language.  We encourage creativity through art projects.  At this age we like to begin teaching independence, they are learning how to clean up after themselves and how to help each other.
