Infants (6 weeks to 16 months)

Probably the most critical period in a child's life to build relationships and trust with adults, our caregivers will play a special role in caring, playing and nurturing your infant. Not only are there age appropriate toys to explore but most importantly, cuddly laps and arms will provide your child with security and love and individual care. We provide you with daily reports of your child's day with us and encourage telephone calls to keep up with everything that happens while your child is in our care. As your child grows older the transition to the adjacent toddler room is very easy as the toddler and infant teachers mingle and interact with all the children in both programs.

Toddlers (16 months to 24 months)

At this age as we all know kids are curious and are learning to be independent. We provide a fun, safe and colorful environment to encourage their curiosity and physical and mental growth. The bright toddler table is a perfect place for a child this age to explore an individual sand box or color on a paper with a crayon. Music, art projects and interactive toys help children grow and learn even at this very young age.

Twos

This is the age when your child is learning to communicate and be independent. They are not babies anymore and are willing to prove it. But they still need a lot of encouragement and help to build their social skills. Our caregivers set up a well-planned environment which provides choice and self play as well as group play to encourage sharing. Everyday, small group circles are used to introduce children to alphabets, numbers, science and art to prepare children for future academic excellence.

Preschool (Three to Five Years)

Our Preschool Program offers a rich and wide variety of projects and activities to build a foundation for children to learn language, math and science and foster interest in learning by making it fun. Our preschool curriculum will help them expand their communication and social skills along with their academic skills in a fun and interesting environment. These are skills they will need for their success and development for years to come in school and in life.

Kindergarten and Before and After School

Children ages 5 to 12 are eager to form social connections and love new ideas and challenges. They are growing physically and intellectually and they need to be in an environment where they are comfortable and relaxed after spending many hours in school. We at CCA provide that environment. We try to reinforce academic lessons learnt at school, especially our kindergarteners. All our children are encouraged to do their homework but great importance is also given to just playing, sharing and interacting with friends. As for the parents they love the fact that we provide back-up care when school is closed for parent-teacher conferences, spring break, snow days and other holidays.

Summer Camp

Each year our Director works painstakingly to come up with a fun and creative summer program for our children. Different themes each month provides the children with different projects and outdoor experiences. Of course swimming is an integral part of summer and our children enjoy going to the local swimming pool once a week. We also take them on weekly field trips to various local parks, movie theaters, museums, bowling and roller blading. Every year we end our summer program with the much anticipated trip to the Water Park and sleepover at the center. These trips are educationally valuable and developmentally appropriate but above all else they are a lot of FUN! Art projects and other activities make time spent indoors entertaining and relaxing. Please contact us for further information on our summer program.
