Programs
Babies
Nursery, Babies, Ones
We Know that it is not easy to leave your little one each morning. Having confidence that your child is being well cared for helps ease your mind. We strive to accommodate your child's uniqueness by providing individual, personalized attention and love. Your baby will be given plenty of opportunity to develop social and physical skills by interacting with others. Pictures, mobiles, music, and toys will be used to stimulate intellectual and motor skills. Our emphasis is on trust, security and happiness.
Each day your child will be discovering things using all five senses, copying simple actions of the people around them, experimenting with toy instruments, exploring textures, colors, and learning a variety of words and sounds through playing with other children.
Toddlers
Twos, Little Preschool
To a toddler, the world is full of new things to be explored and conquered. Our program is designed to help your toddler develop through various play opportunities. Some of these will be teacher directed, others will be the toddler's free choice. We encourage your toddler to grow and explore at his/her own rate. We strive to respect each child's individuality. Toddlers will be surrounded with age appropriate toys and activities, stories, songs and lots of love and individual attention.
During their time with us your child will learn to count, discover writing and music, and start building toward following simple instructions, writing, and the potty.
Preschool
Preschool, Pre-K
Preschoolers love to learn and are brimming with questions and are curious about the world around them. The key to learning is a good attitude, and the key to a good attitude is a well rounded diet, rest, and REALationships! Our program is filled with fun activities and we understand that children learn best by doing. Our curriculum is theme-based with a special emphasis on pre-reading writing skills and basic kindergarten preparation. We will provide educational toys, activities. Plenty of time will be provided for free play, both indoors and out, along with quiet time, songs and stories. The spiritual growth of each child will be nurtured daily with simple Bible stories, mealtime prayers and other Bible activities.
Our time with your child will include learning and social opportunities like simple addition and subtraction and science, movement and imaginative play with props and dress-up clothes. Much of this will include group play where your child will make friends and learn cooperation and taking turns.

Social and Emotional Development
At Our Little Treasures, our philosophy on social and emotional is one that combines modeling appropriate behavior along with the techniques used to teach children how to regulate their emotions and behaviors. “Conscious Discipline” method (Dr. Becky Bailey, www.LovingGuidance.com), and Beyond consequences are a couple of resources used to teach self-regulation. All childcare staff use connection and guidance tools that promote an idea of patience and self-control, sutools from the “Conscious Discipline” model, and beyond consequences.
Spiritual Development
As a Christian childcare center, we wish to exemplify our love for Christ in our daily lives by
-
Showing love and understanding for those with whom we come in contact.
-
