Mobile Infants (12 months – 17 months) ratio 3:1

At this later stage of infancy, babies are very mobile crawling and walking, climbing over and under, putting things in and out of containers and making new sounds and beginning words. It’s a fascination age and our lead teacher is focused on your child’s developmental needs at this crucial stage.

There is a basic schedule that is followed which provides your busy infants with the proper nutrition, rest, language, sensory and physical activities that they need to develop. Basic sign language is used to introduce new words and facilitate their language development.

Nursery (18 months – 27 months) ratio 5:1

These are busy times for our toddlers. Not only will your child be working on his skills like walking, climbing and running but he will also be adding words to their speech development and will continue to increase his ability to tell you what he needs or wants. At Little Treasures Learning Center, our toddler teachers will work with this age group in large and small group activities. In large group activities toddlers are exposed to music, stories, exercise and dramatic play. In small group activities toddlers are exposed to art, sensory materials, puzzles, and language and math concepts.

Pre-Three (27 months – 3 years) ratio 7:1

There is a large increase in the amount of verbal communication and comprehension in this stage. It is important to nurture this growth. Here at Little Treasures Learning Center we do this through activities that allow your child to experience and explore her environment and express herself.

Math concepts such as counting, matching and learning shapes and colors are included in the weekly activities. Dramatic play areas allow for role playing to take place. Music instruction from an outside music professional as well as daily songs and dance activities help children develop an appreciation for dance and music. Daily art activities help to introduce children to different materials and ideas.

PreK-3, PreK-4 (3-5) ratio 10:1

The Preschool stage is most crucial to providing a strong foundation for future learning. We provide our preschool students an enriched environment filled with developmentally appropriate activities.

To promote social and emotional growth preschoolers are encouraged to make independent decisions, explore and experiment different materials and participate in activities which help them empathize with feelings of others and express themselves to their teachers and peers. The preschool curriculum also includes language and literacy, mathematics, science, and physical development as well as weekly ComputerExplorers instructions and a music enrichment class.
