Early Childhood Education

Children, with and without special needs, prepare for kindergarten together as they actively participate in a natural flow of play, quality early learning experiences, and nurturing interactions with classroom teachers. The program is nationally accredited (NAEYC), has an excellent 5-star rating, and offers on-site nursing care.

Children attending Kindergarten readiness program will engage in activities in each of the developmental domains, allowing them to be social-emotionally, cognitively, and physically prepared for kindergarten and future school years. Additionally, Lead Teachers work on a tailored set of developmental related goals daily for each child in the classroom. These goals target fine/gross, social/emotional, and cognitive skills.

Young children’s natural curiosity and energetic imaginations can lead to stimulating learning opportunities All classrooms provide guided play experiences along with opportunities for unstructured play to support children’s knowledge in key areas and their lifelong enjoyment and pursuit of learning.

Building peer interaction skills allows children to successfully interact with one another, such as sharing, taking turns, asking for assistance, and helping one another. Classrooms are arranged to create physical and socially environments that can help promote peer interaction among all children.

Research has shown that a smaller ratio of staff-to-children in childcare settings is a consistent predictor of outcomes. Children are more likely to experience better care, have developmentally appropriate activities, and a better quality of interactions with caregivers. Low staff-to-child ratios are found in all ESRW classrooms.
