Classrooms

6 weeks - 18 months

The first years of life are a time of rapid growth and foundational development. Our Infant and Waddler Program is thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive milestones in a safe, loving, and responsive environment. We understand that infancy is not only about meeting developmental benchmarks but also about building trust, fostering security, and encouraging exploration.

In our Infant classroom, we focus on creating meaningful one-on-one interactions that help babies gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. From first smiles to first steps, our caregivers are there to support each moment of discovery. Gentle routines, soothing environments, and warm, attentive care create a strong foundation for healthy attachment and overall development.

As infants grow into waddlers, their curiosity begins to blossom. The Waddler Program is centered around exploration, movement, and sensory discovery. At this stage, children are eager to touch, hold, crawl, climb, and even taste the world around them. Our teachers guide this natural curiosity through hands-on activities that encourage motor development, emerging language, and early social skills.

Through songs, stories, interactive play, and engaging materials, toddlers begin to develop early awareness of letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. More importantly, they build a sense of wonder and joy in learning. Each day includes plenty of time for active play, quiet cuddles, and opportunities for self-expression—all within a predictable routine that supports a sense of comfort and confidence.

Our Infant and Waddler Program lays the essential groundwork for a lifelong love of learning by meeting children where they are and encouraging them to grow at their own pace—surrounded by care, connection, and discovery.

18 months - 2.5 years

 Our Toddler Program is thoughtfully designed to support the unique needs of children ages 18 months to 2.5 years—a period of tremendous growth and discovery. During this stage, toddlers are developing a stronger sense of self, rapidly expanding their language, and learning how to interact with the world around them. Our nurturing and experienced teachers provide a safe, engaging environment where young children can explore, build trust, and gain confidence in their emerging abilities.

At this age, toddlers thrive on consistency, encouragement, and hands-on experiences. Our daily routines are intentionally structured to create a predictable environment that helps toddlers feel secure while supporting their growing independence. Throughout the day, children are gently guided through age-appropriate activities that promote language development, motor coordination, social interactions, and self-help skills.

Our curriculum focuses on exploration and discovery, using music, movement, sensory play, art, and simple problem-solving activities to spark curiosity and encourage learning. Teachers model and support positive social behaviors such as sharing, taking turns, and using words to express needs and emotions. This helps toddlers begin to form relationships, develop empathy, and build early communication skills.

In addition to fostering cognitive and physical development, we place great importance on social-emotional growth. Our staff creates a warm, responsive atmosphere where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Toddlers are encouraged to make choices, express themselves, and participate in group activities—laying the foundation for future success in preschool and beyond.

The Toddler Program is a vital first step in a child’s educational journey. By creating a balanced environment filled with love, learning, and laughter, we help each child develop a positive association with school while building the skills needed for continued growth.

2.5 - 5 years

 Our Preschool Program offers a warm, engaging, and developmentally rich environment where young learners begin building the essential skills needed for academic success and lifelong learning. At this pivotal stage, children are rapidly expanding their independence, language abilities, and social awareness. We recognize and nurture this growth by providing experiences that foster curiosity, encourage creativity, and promote meaningful exploration.

Each day in our preschool classroom is carefully structured to balance child-led discovery with teacher-guided instruction. Our nurturing educators create a predictable daily routine that offers the stability young children crave, while also allowing the flexibility to follow their interests and passions. Within this rhythm, children learn important concepts such as turn-taking, following directions, and transitioning between activities—all key components of a successful school experience.

Imaginative play is a cornerstone of our program, as it allows children to make sense of their world, process emotions, and build critical social skills. Whether they are pretending to be doctors, chefs, or astronauts, our preschoolers are constantly learning through role play, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Our classrooms are designed with inviting learning centers that encourage children to explore literacy, mathematics, science, art, music, and movement in hands-on and age-appropriate ways.

Cognitive, social, and emotional development are integrated into every aspect of the day. Through interactive group activities such as circle time, cooperative games, storytelling, and dramatic play, children are introduced to early academic concepts including letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and patterns. These foundational skills are woven into real-life, meaningful experiences that make learning fun and relevant.

As children progress through our preschool program, kindergarten readiness becomes a central focus. In addition to strengthening academic fundamentals, we place significant emphasis on the development of executive functioning skills—such as memory, flexible thinking, and impulse control—as well as self-help routines like cleaning up after play, managing personal belongings, and expressing needs appropriately. Teachers also provide gentle guidance in recognizing and managing emotions, resolving peer conflicts, and developing empathy and respect for others.

Our comprehensive approach prepares children not only to enter kindergarten with confidence but to excel socially, emotionally, and academically. By the time they transition from our preschool program, they will have built a strong foundation that supports future learning and a love for discovery.

5 years and older

Our Before and After School Program is designed to provide a safe, structured, and enriching environment for school-aged children up to 2nd grade. We understand the importance of offering families a dependable and supportive option that complements their child's school day while also meeting the needs of working parents.

In partnership with the Southampton School District, transportation is available to and from school. Families may also choose to drop off their child in the morning and return them to the center after school hours. Whether arriving early in the day or joining us after school, children benefit from a welcoming atmosphere and a well-balanced routine.

Our program offers a blend of structured activities and supervised free play to support each child’s social, emotional, and academic development. Mornings begin with a calm, consistent routine that helps children ease into their day with quiet activities, games, and opportunities to connect with peers.

In the afternoons, children enjoy a variety of age-appropriate experiences including arts and crafts, group games, STEM-based activities, and outdoor play. Our goal is to provide a fun and engaging environment where children can unwind after school, continue learning through hands-on exploration, and develop meaningful friendships in a safe and nurturing setting.

Whether your child needs a peaceful start to their day or a lively and supportive space after school, our Before and After School Program offers the flexibility, care, and enrichment that families can count on.
