INFANT ROOMS
​6 WEEKS-23 MONTHS

NURSERY ROOM
Our nursery offers an excellent setting for children six weeks through twenty-three months. We welcome our littlest learners into a gentle, nurturing environment where each child is respected and valued as a growing individual.

​Our nursery has been designed with infant safety and comfort in mind allowing infants to move naturally and freely. Within this safe environment, we strive to achieve the perfect balance between adult interaction and dependent exploration. 

​Parents in the Nursery can see how their child's day is with a program called Baby Connect. (Our center also uses Brightwheel for all communication and updates about your child) Every change, feeding, napping time, and other activities are recorded in this program. Any questions or concerns can be communicated directly to the teachers and the program can send documents and pictures. If the app isn't for you, an email can be sent to the parent as well or a paper chart is kept. Teachers will keep parents included in everyday moments and developmental milestones. From first tactile awareness to first steps, to fundamental language skills, the joys of a child’s accomplishments are recognized and celebrated.

WOBBLER ROOM
Our Wobbler Room is designed to help mobile infants more actively explore their environment through daily story times, music and movement, art projects, sensory play, and active play. All of these activities will help your child thrive on new experiences daily. 

The enriching setting provides stimulating experiences and materials necessary for the progression through significant developmental stages. Our curriculum challenges little ones to explore and discover, build strength, coordination skills, and confidence. 

TODDLER/EARLY PRESCHOOL
24 MONTHS-36 MONTHS

These classrooms are designed for active toddlers with many sensory oriented activities offered to help them to foster inquisitive minds and essential gross motor skills.  We also introduce creative arts through many mediums, and  expressive arts through dramatic play to help them build social skills through fun playful interactions with peers and teachers.  Building with manipulative toys helps them to develop problem solving techniques for future use.

Physical  exercise is important in their development and we offer this both outside on our toddler playground, and inside through dance, music and movement. Children in this classroom learn the beginning ideas of gardening and where their food comes from. 

We fill each day with love, excitement and a chance to grow in a positive learning environment.

​Potty  Training
New Discoveries is happy to assist toddlers and partner with parents to encourage potty training. Our Toddler and Early Preschool Rooms have a child sized toilet to make potty training fun, easy and convenient. With patience, consistency, routine, and gentle reminders, your child will have opportunity for success!

Pre K Room

PRESCHOOL/PRE K
​3-6 YEARS

​Our Preschool class is ages 3-4 years old and our Pre Kindergarten group is ages 4-6 years old. The Pre K group focuses  more on Kindergarten readiness.

​At New Discoveries, we believe that a child should have a healthy balance of both play and fun academic learning. Play is a child’s work. Parents aren't forced to choose between protecting a child's play time and making sure she/he is ready for kindergarten. Our primary goal at New Discoveries is for each child to grow in skill, understanding, and confidence and to experience the joy and adventure  of learning! 

Our Preschool and Pre K  classrooms encourage
relationships, hands-on exploration, and celebration of the natural world.
 
Children enrolled in our full-day program have an active morning with Zoo-Phonics, a fun interactive curriculum, followed by a wholesome lunch and rest time. Whether it is an activity expanding on the morning’s learning or a special project developing from the children’s interests, afternoons provide extra time for enhanced and emergent curriculum.
