Infant & Toddler Program Our program will gently introduce your children to the excitement of learning on a multi-sensory level. Play will be the vehicle by which we will take your child through a happy and secure beginning. This program is designed to be unconstructed, providing a level of care warranted by the uniqueness of each child. We create a comfortable "home-away-from-home" atmosphere which encourages parental involvement and gives each child a sense of beginning. Two Year Old Program Creative Garden will start your two year old on a wonderful journey which will enhance their communication skills and social development in a warm and loving atmosphere. Picture stories and simple poetry will introduce your children to the world of picture representation, creative expression in music, rhythms, dramatic play and art activities. Colors, shapes, numbers, and reading readiness are all part of our early learning program. Three & Four Year Old Program Our three and four year old children will delight as the discovery of learning continues through a spiraling reading readiness and math approach that will prepare them for our five year old program. Language arts, phonics, Spanish, science, and social graces are all part of a challenging curriculum offered by Creative Garden. Transitional Program The older four year old child, who is ready for the structure of kindergarten, is challenged in the "transitional class." Math, reading, cultural arts, music, Spanish, science and the various multitude of art forms comprise the curriculum of this "bridging" year between four year old classes and kindergarten. Kindergarten Program A lifetime of learning continues with our kindergarten class. Children will experience the joy of learning beginning with their first school day and culminating at their graduation. Reading skills progress to the point where the children feel the thrill and excitement of reading their first story. They will explore and discover the world of natural science, scientific experiments, map skills, music comprehension, and multi-media crafts. The Metropolitan Readiness Test is administered to all kindergarten children. The discoveries that each child will experience in the kindergarten program, from reasoning skills to a greater understanding of the world around them, lay the foundation for the first grade and beyond.
