Infants
The infant classroom at Children’s Learning Center can accommodate 6 infants. Children ages 6 weeks through 12 months are in this classroom. Children in this room are all on their own sleeping and eating schedules. The teachers do their best to reflect the scheduled you have at home for your baby while they are at school. In this classroom, the teachers create individual lesson plans so each child has developmental goals that the teachers work with them on throughout the month.
Between 4-6 months of age, we recommend introducing puree baby foods and around 6 - 10 months of age, we encourage starting on solid foods.
Toddlers
The Toddler classroom is licensed for 10 children ages 12 months and walking through 2 years old. In this class, they focus on building self-help skills like learning to use utensils to eat, drinking from sippy cups, working on basic dressing skills, etc. They also begin introducing potty training in this room. The teachers create classroom lesson plans that focus on different developmental domains like fine motor skills, gross motor skills, language and communication (including sign language), social/emotional development and art!
Early Preschool
The Early Preschool classroom is licensed for children ages 2 years through 3 years of age; however, we typically move children up to the Preschool room around 2.5 years of age. We continue working on potty training with our two year olds. They have similar lesson plans to those in the Toddler classroom, but they are at a more advanced level based on the more advanced developmental level. Typically, children are potty trained by the time they leave this class!

The Preschool class accommodates 20 children ages 2.5 years - 3 years and potty trained. In this classroom, the teachers begin to introduce the curriculum called Learning Without Tears. This focuses on teaching children to develop their Language and Literacy skills, as well as Math and Science. In addition, the teachers use Creative Curriculum to develop their lesson plans.
