We are a privately owned and operated childcare center, just a short walk to Natick Center.
We opened in April 2003 and expanded to add more classrooms in the summer of 2005.
PHYSICAL SPACE:
- We brought new life to an old warehouse… our space is filled with many bright colors resembling a traditional street you might find in Ireland. We have seven classrooms, a kitchen, an office, a conference room, and an indoor playroom for rainy days.
- Our outside play space surface is covered in play safe playground chips and surrounded by a six-foot high wooden privacy fence. We have toys, climbing structures, and swings for all age groups. There is water play on hot days in the summer months and outside picnics on warm, beautiful days.
YOUNGER INFANTS: UNGER INFANTS:
Our Younger Infant room allows for seven Infants, each with their own crib. We have a kitchen with a tile floor and a play area with carpet and many developmentally appropriate toys.
OLDER INFANTS:
Our Older Infant room is a room for our Older Infants to start developing new skills. In this room the children will begin crawling and developing gross motor skills needed to start walking!. This room allows for seven infants, each with their own Pack N Play. There is a kitchen with a tile floor and a larger carpeted area with room for plenty of exploring.
TRANSITION:
This classroom is called our Transition Room because that is exactly what the children are experiencing- a transition from infancy to being a toddler. This room is where the children learn many self- help skills and a general sense of independance needed to grow as a toddler. They will begin to move onto “sippy” cups from bottles and sleep on mats like the "big kids!" They are also beginning to master walking. This room has a full bathroom with a changing station inside.
YOUNGER TODDLERS:
Our Younger Toddler room is zoned for up to nine children over 15 months. This is where children are walking and talking and sitting at a table for snack and lunch. The toddlers sleep on mats for naptime and have transitioned to taking one afternoon nap per day. These children are also beginning to learn shapes, numbers and letters. This room has its' own bathroom with a child-sized toilet and hand washing sink. The room also has a changing station.
OLDER TODDLERS:
Our Older Toddler room is for up to nine children who are around 2 years old. This classroom has a bathroom with a child-sized toilet and hand washing sink. Many of the children in this classroom have been introduced to toilet training, and are beginning to learn skills and acedemics to help them in Preschool.
PRESCHOOL:
Our Preschool class has up to seventeen children from the age of 2.9 years to 4 years old. This classroom is equipped with a handicap bathroom and most of the children are out of diapers and pull ups. If a child is not potty trained by now, the Preschool teachers use open and understanding techiniques to help them develop the neccesary skills. This classroom provides many learning opportunities as well as offering the chance for the children to develop social skills.
KINDERGARTEN PREP:
This classroom is for up to seventeen children between the ages of four and five. All of the Children in this classroom will be going off to Kindergarten after completing a year in this room.
