Toddlers

12 - 24 months

In the toddler classroom, we explore anything and everything we possibly can. Our little ones love wandering around the classroom learning through their senses. Our toddlers have a wonderful daily schedule of group time, outdoor play, meals and snacks, naptime and the most important and fun time of the day, PLAYTIME! During our group time we read books about transportation, family, kindness and more. We also begin reading age appropriate Bible stories. We begin teaching young ones how to become independent by using their words and even sign language. We talk about our day, how we feel and what it means to be together in our bright and warm classroom. We enjoy our outdoor playtime and seeing the beautiful nature outside. Our weekly themes consist of exploring our homes, families, pets and animals. Singing and playing our days away is what makes our room so special!

Tiny Twos & Mighty Twos

2 - 2.5 years & 2.5  - 3 years

Early Preschool

3 - 4 years

Our Early Preschoolers love to dance, sing and play. We inspire them to explore the world around them and learn something from everything. Socialization is very important to early preschoolers as they begin to share, use their manners and learn to take turns. In this age group we begin to count numbers and learn letter recognition. We enjoy singing our daily songs to teach us about the days of the week and the months of the year. We read Bible stories and have daily, morning prayer and begin learning the Pledge of Allegiance. We love diving into our art projects and seeing what we can create with an abundance of materials. We enjoy watching our teachers do exciting science projects and love to watch the students guess what will happen and see their eyes full of surprise! Getting outside and playing on the playground is a part of our everyday schedule.

Pre-K/VPK

4 - 5 years

VPK is a free program offered through the Early Learning Coalition. In order to qualify, a VPK voucher is required. The hours for VPK are 9:00 am-12:00pm. Our VPK program follows the Hillsborough County school district’s calendar. In this age group we focus on our social-emotional growth and explore who we are as beautiful, unique individuals. We learn how to work together and how to conquer objectives by ourselves. We enjoy writing our names, learning to count, number recognition/sequences, learning to read and exploring phonics. We have morning prayer, Bible lessons and recite the Pledge Of Allegiance, the Pledge to the Christian Flag and the Pledge to the Bible. We enjoy extreme science projects that make us say “WOW!” and we dive into our sensory bin which helps enhance the learning theme we are studying that week. We often have guest speakers and love exploring the community to supplement our learning. We get outside often to move our bodies and strengthen our fine and gross motor muscles. This age group helps to prepare our students for the next grade which is Kindergarten. Our preschoolers are well on their way to a successful journey into Kindergarten!
