We welcome baby's starting at 6 weeks of age. Our infants are precious and we have designed a nurturing, creative world for infants to explore their surroundings and help their minds and bodies develop. Babies are held during feedings, rocked to feel loved and spend time on their tummies to discover the world around them. Music is also very important at this age, so we play soothing music for nap time along with familiar tunes that they learn to recognize at other times throughout their day. Sign Language is also introduced as a way to communicate before they have developed their language skills. Our rooms are designed to make babies and parents feel safe, secure, and happy. Each infant has their own personal crib and plenty of hugs, love and personal attention. Our teachers will guide your baby through a world of language, by using sounds, songs, gestures, and words. We know it can be difficult to leave your infant in someone else's care and feel confident that they will get the same love and care that you give, but rest assured, our infant teachers will build a bond with you and your baby that will put your mind at ease. We provide parents with daily "Small Talk" reports on feedings, diapering, and napping. All our teachers are certified in First Aid/CPR and many hours of continued education yearly to ensure your child's well- being.

At this age, toddlers are on the move. They are crawling, walking, talking, and able to explore the world around them. My Little Hearts program provides hands on activities to allow them to explore, inquire, and discover solutions. Our program allows them to build on previous knowledge and experience new challenges with age appropriate activities to improve coordination, increase verbal skills and learn to problem solve. In addition, our classroom introduces children to dramatic play, creative arts, language development, and sensory exploration. We also focus on the development of self- confidence, self-esteem, and a love of learning. We give our children plenty of opportunity to explore and play in a safe, secure, yet stimulating environment. Our weekly lesson plans encourage participation and fun. In addition, our teachers get to know each child to learn his or her strengths and needs. They use this knowledge to choose the age-appropriate, engaging activities, and experiences that will start toddlers on the path to lifelong learning. A daily report is given to update you on curriculum, meal time, nap time, toilet training, and other daily activities. Our goal is to give your toddler a balance of nurture, play, and learning throughout their day.

At this age, children are Imagineers. They are filled with energy, independence, and curiosity about the world. Their language skills have increased and their vocabulary continues to grow dramatically. They are undergoing rapid development in many areas, and eager for attention to help them learn and understand basic things about the world around them. Our program emphasizes on language development to help children to strengthen and increase vocabularies and develop character. Children will have group activities to complement your child's developmental growth, by practicing social skills, such as cooperation, sharing, and taking turns. Our classrooms focus on dramatic play, creative arts, language development, and sensory exploration. Daily activities include, pretend play, learning games, and hands-on activities in both large and small group activities. Our teachers will work to foster your child's independence, self-esteem, and sense of accomplishment. We give them the tools and guidance to explore and learn within a comfortable, secure environment. Daily reports will keep you updated on your child's progress.

At this age, children are highly impressionable. They are like sponges soaking up the knowledge of the world around them. They continue to improve their coordination, learn complex games, and begin to interact more with their friends. A typical day in the classroom, children will enjoy table-top manipulatives, puzzles, blocks, dramatic play and a morning visit to "Circle Time," where teachers and students practice conversation and listening, rhymes and rhythms and short stories. Throughout a fun-filled, active day children will work on building academic skills and have plenty of opportunities to explore our learning centers so they can learn through play. This type of play promotes independence, encourages decision making, increases self-confidence, and develops social skills. When working in groups, children are encouraged to explore and discover, work together and celebrate each day's achievements. In addition to learning centers, your child will engage in various hands-on activities that will encourage them to explore, inquire, and discover solutions. Our program gives them the guidance and the tools they need to explore and learn in a comfortable, safe, and secure environment.

At this stage, learning becomes even more exciting for your child because they are preparing to move into kindergarten. Our program will help make the transition smoother by helping children become more familiar with an organized environment. For example, one of the biggest transitions for children is the whole class instruction concept. To get them ready, we will conduct full group activities that will be similar to their experiences in kindergarten. We will focus on group play to develop social skills needed for elementary school, such as listening, sharing, asking questions, following directions and cooperating with others. Our program will help children develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they will need to succeed in kindergarten and school. We work with your child on recognizing shapes, colors, motor skills and following instructions. In addition, we continue to build on their language development through learning activities to introduce letters, words, and sounds. We will increase their math skills by recognizing numbers, counting, and introducing basic addition and subtraction concepts with hands-on activities. We provide a safe, secure environment where children can learn through exploration, discovery, and hands-on activities as they prepare for their exciting entrance into kindergarten. Our teachers provide assessments every three months throughout the school year to keep parents informed on their child's progress.

My Little Hearts knows that many family's schedules make after school programs essential during the school year and during school holidays. Our program offers a safe environment for additional homework/study time so kids can spend more quality time with their families at home. We provide daily hands-on activities and a place where your child can spend time with their friends. By daily parent interaction, our teachers can determine what each child requires after school. Such as, if a child needs more help in order to complete homework assignments, or needs tutoring in certain areas. This also is a good time to let the children learn more about computers, which are available at the center. We recognize that after a busy day at school, children need time to play. Supervised playground times are given to our students so they have the chance to release some energy and enjoy the outdoors.
