We have 6 classrooms in the Center:

HORIZON ROOM: Ages 1 to 2 years. The age of discovery and exploration. These children are beginning to gain verbal skills that will help them in their socialization with their peers. Plenty of hands on sensory activities abound!
SUNSHINE ROOM: Ages 2 to 3 years (until toilet trained). Self expression and independence encompass this class. Music, language, and creative play are part of this class, as well as building self-esteem and the joy of becoming oneself.

RAINBOW & SEASHELL ROOMS: Ages 3 to 4 years. The age of innocence. These children are becoming more independent in learning important life skills. They start to grasp the need for social interaction and cooperation with their peers. Some of their activities include music, dramatic play, art, science, storytelling and exploration. Beginning cognitive concepts are also discussed and practiced in these two rooms.
RAIN FOREST ROOM: Ages 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 years. This class continues in offering a variety of academic challenges. The focus is that learning is fun! More responsibility in being a daily helper is offered, as the children show developmental readiness.
