Toddler Program
Our Toddler program provides a loving and nurturing environment in which the children discover themselves, their surroundings and others. Each class rotates between areas such as Housekeeping, Manipulatives, Science, Art and Motor/Music. Teachers concentrate on social and listening skills, as well as fine and gross motor development. In addition to the toddler staff, we also have a full-time Toddler Coordinator to assist with art projects, lunch, potty-time and cleaning.

Kindergarten Program

Our Kindergarten curriculum is a State Chartered Kindergarten and is consistent with the courses of study developed by the Ohio State Department of Education, Greene County, and Beavercreek City Schools.This allows for a smooth transition into the first grade.

The subject areas are taught within the framework of thematic units so the skills and learning objectives are meaningful to the kindergarten learner. Literature is frequently used to introduce and support concepts in an enjoyable manner. The much-loved Letter People of the Alpha Time Program are used throughout our curriculum. Field trips, special visitors and class projects are also an integral part of our program.
