Childcare

Our Childcare Center offers a high quality, affordable, supportive and nurturing learning environment available to families in Greenwich and the surrounding communities designed to meet the full-day needs of working parents. Our philosophy is play-based utilizing a developmentally appropriate curriculum for children ages 6 weeks to five years of age. We aim to foster the individual child’s emotional, social, physical and cognitive skills in an environment that supports and develops the love of learning, mutual respect, cooperation, leadership, and the ability to make choices and problem-solving skills.  

 

Childcare (ages 6 weeks-5 years) 

Our program is set up to foster an infant’s sensory, social, physical, intellectual and emotional development allowing for a smooth transition from home to childcare. 

 

Childcare (ages 12-36 months)

Our program develops a sense of awareness in the areas of sounds, textures, colors and feelings preparing the children for a smooth transition to our preschool program.

 

Preschool Program (ages 3-5)

Our program is play-based, that combines preparation for kindergarten with an emphasis on a child’s social and emotional development. The focus of the program is on the whole child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. Teachers develop classroom themes and activities that integrate sensory experiences, pre-reading and pre-math concepts, science, social studies, art, social and self-help skills.  

 

Enrichment Programs 

Children sing with our music teacher, dance with our creative movement teacher, swim with our aquatics teacher, learn Chinese with the Chinese American School and explore the world with special visitors throughout the year.
