Development for the whole child

As a parent you're focused on preparing your child for the life come, for long-term learning and wellness. Our approach brings together six areas - called developmental domains - to encourage children to become life-long learners as a basis for a happy and healthy life.

Language and Literacy Development

Involves children’s abilities to convey their ideas, thoughts, and feelings through speaking and writing, and their ability to demonstrate early reading skills.

Executive Function

Focuses on the development of skills necessary for learning, such as self-regulation, attention, and persistence.

Social and Emotional Development

Supports your child’s ability to express and regulate feelings and develop relations with others.

Physical Development and Wellness

Gives your child opportunities to build large- and small-muscle skills, strength, stamina, and knowledge needed to live a healthy lifestyle.

Cognitive Development

Supports the mental processes needed to think, make sense of the world, and understand knowledge across different subjects, including mathematics, science, and social studies.

Creative Expression

Helps your child creatively explore the arts, movement, drama, and music.

Your Child's Day

Our centers are designed to be a home away from home for children where they can learn, laugh, grow and have fun. In addition to our age-appropriate activities we focus on providing healthy meals and snacks. Our own registered dietitian plans wholesome meals and satisfying snacks that meet federal and state requirements and guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). We also work with food manufacturers to create appropriate portion sizes and nutritional ingredients for children.
