Cloud Room

Age: 2 – 14 months | 6 Children | 2 Teachers

The Cloud Room is lovingly led by two caring teachers with decades of experience nurturing babies. The teachers follow the natural rhythm of each infant, allowing the child to guide the schedule of their day. Bottles, naps, and playtime are thoughtfully planned around individual needs, ensuring every baby feels secure and supported.

As children grow, their routines become more predictable, and together they develop a gentle rhythm for the day. Each child rests on their own mattress on the floor, giving them freedom of movement and comfort. When they are ready for solid food, they join their peers at the table, learning to share meals in community.

Emergent curriculum is at the heart of the Cloud Room. Teachers observe the interests and developmental cues of each child, then design experiences that build on those discoveries. A baby’s curiosity about a sound, texture, or movement might spark a new play activity, while older infants may explore group experiences that encourage social connection. This approach ensures learning is meaningful, responsive, and joyful.

The Cloud Room also features its own outdoor deck, where children can explore and play in the fresh air during pleasant weather—another opportunity for discovery and growth in a safe, caring environment.

Sunshine Room

Age: 1 - 2.5 years | 8 Children | 2 Teachers

The Sunshine Room is guided by two compassionate teachers who have been working together for several years, creating a warm and consistent environment for our waddlers. As children in this room become more mobile and independent, the schedule provides structure for meals and naps while still allowing flexibility to follow the children’s emerging interests.

Teachers observe what captures the children’s curiosity—whether it’s trying out new skills, exploring materials, or engaging in play—and build learning experiences around those discoveries. Much of the day is devoted to practicing the basic skills of daily life. Children learn to take off their shoes and socks, hang up their coats, and help keep the classroom tidy by putting away toys, wiping tables, and packing up their belongings. These routines become joyful opportunities for independence and confidence-building.

Outdoor play is a favorite part of the Sunshine Room, giving children the chance to test their growing abilities in movement and coordination. Meals are served at a toddler-sized table, where children practice independence by feeding themselves and putting their dishes away when finished. Teachers support these moments with patience and encouragement, helping children develop both practical skills and a sense of responsibility.

The Sunshine Room is a place where compassion, curiosity, and independence come together—laying the foundation for lifelong learning through everyday experiences.

Rainbow Room

Age: 2 – 3.5 years | 10 Students | 2 Staff

The Rainbow Room, led by two dedicated teachers who have been part of the center for many years, is a joyful space where children’s growing independence shines. Rainbow students are now very mobile and eager explorers, working each day to expand their language and social skills.

Emergent curriculum shapes the experiences in this young preschool room: teachers carefully observe children’s interests and developmental cues, then design activities that build on their curiosity. Play is the foundation for learning, with teachers gently supporting language growth and social connections through meaningful interactions. The children spend lots of time in the playground, rain or shine.

Art activities provide opportunities to strengthen fine motor skills while offering fun, sensory-rich experiences that spark creativity. As children show readiness, teachers collaborate closely with families to support toilet training, ensuring consistency and encouragement across home and school.

The Rainbow Room is a nurturing environment where children’s voices, choices, and discoveries guide the rhythm of each day—always supported by the care and wisdom of teachers who know them well.

Star Room

Age: 2.5 – 4 years | 14 Students | 2 Teachers

The Star Classroom is guided by two supportive teachers who have been a dedicated team for a few years, bringing stability and warmth to the children’s daily experience. This is a lively stage of early preschool, where children are truly engaging with their peers and learning the foundations of cooperative play.

The preschool curriculum in the Star Room is woven into every part of the day. Social and emotional learning is nurtured through free-play activities, where teachers model and support skills like sharing, problem-solving, and expressing feelings. Academic readiness is introduced in playful, integrated ways—children begin exploring colors, shapes, and letters through games, songs, and hands-on activities that spark curiosity.

Outdoor play is a central part of the Star Room experience. With plenty of opportunities for “big body” movement, children climb, run, jump, and explore, channeling their energy into joyful, healthy activity. Indoors, art projects provide sensory-rich experiences that strengthen fine motor skills while encouraging creativity and self-expression.

Together, the teachers create a balanced environment where learning, play, and movement come together—helping children grow socially, emotionally, and academically while feeling supported by a consistent, caring team.
