Bumblebees are the youngest group in our daycare at
15 months through 2 years of age.
We are children who for the very first time are leaving our parents
and the safety of our homes. For this reason, the most important
thing our teachers do is create an atmosphere of safety and warmth.
Because we are so young, we require special care from the teachers
at our daycare. Our meals are carefully planned to satisfy both our
needs and tastes. We love the warm, family-like atmosphere at
our daycare!

Teddy Bears are
children 2 and 3 years old.
Daycare is the place where we first learn how to take care of
ourselves, how to interact with others our own age, and the
importance of a daily routine. It is through plenty of play that we
discover the wonders of the world around us!
In our daycare we do many musical and artistic activities. On colder
days we learn about the heroes and heroines of popular stories and
learn how to speak with one another. We also have free time every
day to choose our own activities and play in whatever way we wish.
We love using our imaginations during free play time!

Ladybugs are our
Center's 3 and 4 year olds.
The first steps to
independence are behind us. We are real preschoolers! Although the
beginnings for some may have been difficult, we now feel safe thanks
to the care of our teachers.
In the morning we play with all kinds of toys and games, make arts
and crafts, and put together puzzles. After breakfast we participate
in educational activities where we learn many important things about
the environment and world.
We like books, coloring, painting, counting and many other
activities. Every day when weather allows we go outside and play on
the playground that is behind the daycare. We love to exercise,
sing and dance. After hard work and a delicious lunch, we quiet
down, relax and take naps.
After waking up we eat a wholesome snack and play in our colorful
playroom or on the playground outside. We enjoy spending time at our
daycare!

At 4 and 5 years old,
Owls are the oldest kids in the daycare.
Our behavior, work ethic, and knowledge of how to play in a group
make us an example for our friends in the younger groups.
We are getting ready to go to school. We practice how to read and
write and spend lots of time learning our letters and numbers. There
is always something new to learn!
While many of us come from Polish families and so are very
comfortable with our home language, our teachers make sure to help
us practice English every single day. We love our daycare because it
is very colorful and has lots of toys!
We have a wonderful, colorful outdoor play area where we have many toys to play with.
