Infants & Toddlers
Loving and nurturing care are two of the most important factors
in the healthy development of your infant. Your baby will be held,
nurtured by loving caregivers. We took the time to choose the most
stimulating toys, colorful books and even the best music. We talk,
read to them, cradle, play peek-a-boo, and sing lullaby until they
fall asleep. Unlike most, we give you an account of your baby’s
care, including sleeping, eating, and diapering. It is amazing
how quickly toddlers progress in all areas of development. They
are able to take their actions, teacher direction and then problem
solve. This self-discovery is what they thrive on and our safe
environment allows each child to develop naturally, at his or her
own pace and to do it happily. Our daily account will give you
information on diapering, napping, and eating. Two Year Olds
Two year old love to learn and explore. The world is at their
fingertips. Their sense of discovery must be sparked and we do so
by providing variety of educational materials and in a creative
and colorful environment. The activities assist them in preparing
for each transition. The teachers take this time to get all of the
children potty trained and ready to move on to the next class. As
the children get older we work on early pre-school activities.
This will get them ready for pre-school classes later. |

Preschool
Our educational program “High Reach Learning” for the
pre-school children begins in September and ends in June,
concurrent with the public school year. We stress numbers, colors,
alphabet, nature, science, history, lands and people, music, arts,
and crafts. Our program is presented through visual aids, flannel
board stories and poems, puppets, books, pictures, discussion, and
field trips to local points of interest. We have special
activities during the year, which include…seasonal parties,
pumpkin hunt, hayride, breakfast with Santa, Easter egg Hunt and
the end of the year program. We offer dance and computer classes
for the pre-school age children.
Our summer program is less extensive for the pre-school, but
they are kept busy with crafts, field trips, water activities, and
occasional movies.
School Age
Our School age program provides transportation from the local public
schools to the Center each afternoon. If your child attends
Kennedy Elementary you can drop your child off in the morning for
bus pick up. We transport children to and from Lincoln School each
day. In the afternoon we pick up from all of the Pell City
Elementary Schools. For those children with homework, we have a
special time each day to complete assignments. When school is not
in session we plan activities and trips for the children. |
