Infants (6 weeks - 12 months)
Our curriculum provides
stimulation through a variety of visual, aural and personal connections. Our
infants are grouped by age and developmental stages. Teachers are not only
warm and responsive, but educated in working specifically with infants.
Daily reports are written for each child so that you know what kind of day
your baby has had. We know that a safe, loving and clean environment are
important to parents. That is exactly what you will find at Lollipop.

Twos
This age group has learning
centers that consist of art, science, library, blocks, puzzles, music and
dramatic play. Twos explore their world through play, social interaction and
teacher directed activities. A playground specifically for twos is just
outside their classroom door. This is the perfect place for twos to burn up
their seemingly never ending energy. Water play, climbing toys, riding toys
and nature are all enjoyed here.

Fours
Our Transitional Kindergarten
program prepares your child for "big school". Literacy is essential for
success in school and life. Skills such as listening and speaking, early
reading, early writing and math are all part of our curriculum. While every
child learns at their own pace, the exposure to early literacy skills lays
the foundation for life-long learning.

Toddlers (12months- 23 months)
Art, music, books, outdoor
playtime fill the days of our Toddlers. This age is curious and exploratory
by nature. We begin teaching self-help skills like hand washing, using the
potty and dressing themselves at this stage of development. Toddlers enjoy
their own playground designed specifically for them. Here they can enjoy
riding toys, water play, climbing, rolling balls, watching squirrels jump
from tree to tree and listening to the birds sing.

Threes
This age is the beginning of a
special stage in your child's life. They are learning more about
independence and self-confidence. Three year olds are developing a strong
sense of themselves and the world around them. We help nurture this process
through 4 areas of development: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and
language. As stated in the Creative Curriculum (TM), "through the activities
we plan and the way we organize the classroom, select toys and materials,
plan the daily schedule, and talk with the children, we seek to accomplish
the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in
school.

Before and After School
We provide after school care
for children grades K - 5th. Transportation is provided to and from River
Gate and Lake
Wylie Elementary Schools only. Afternoon snack and homework assistance as
well as adult supervised play time are part of our daily program. Children
are grouped by age in two separate classrooms. Kindergartners through 2nd
graders are in one group while 3rd through 5th graders are in the other. Two
adults are working with each group so that each child gets individual
attention. We also provide full day child care during teacher workdays and
student holidays. |
