Toddlers
The learning experiences of our Toddler program students are built around their natural tendencies to be active, inquisitive, and exploratory learners who learn through sensory and tactile stimulation. They are developing many new skills in the quest for independence - walking, talking, and discovering who they are and what they can do. Our Toddler program encourages their sense of discovery while building vocabulary, encouraging imagination, and personalizing learning. Our monthly thematic units focus on creative, hands-on activities that will allow your child to learn through experimentation and exploration while simultaneously encouraging the development of higher order thinking skills.
OUR PROGRAMS
Each day, our staff will provide you with a daily report of your child’s activities so that you can share in your child’s daily routine. Twice during the school year, conferences are conducted to share your child’s progress and portfolio collection.
At School Time, we recognize that children learn and process at their own pace. We are committed to meeting each child’s individual needs.

Pre-School
Our Pre-School program builds on the three-year-old student’s “I can do it!” attitude through integrated, hands-on activities. Monthly thematic units are designed to encourage curiosity, self-direction, and confidence. We combine experimentation and exploration to build higher-level thinking, language, math, social, and motor skills with fun and challenging activities. Our center-based classrooms provide a creative learning environment for our three-year-old students, allowing them to make their own choices and express their own personality.
Discovery Pre-School
Our Discovery Pre-School program expands on the foundation established in the Toddler program. The curriculum continues to reinforce the development of expressive language, communication, and vocabulary skills. Gross and fine motor development is more actively promoted along with, personal, social, and emotional development. For these older toddlers, the curriculum is expanded to provide activities that will stimulate creativity and foster a positive attitude toward learning. Teachers will plan activities based on monthly themes and integrate all of the skills and concepts appropriate for their age. The children in this age group acquire increased awareness of numbers, explore letters, and develop an interest in books and reading.
News & Events
Kindergarten
School Time offers a comprehensive, full-day Kindergarten program with all of the benefits of a private school. Our program recognizes the naturally inquisitive nature of Kindergarten students and provides opportunities for active, hands-on learning that will keep your child engaged and motivated under the guidance of an experienced, state-certified teacher. Our curriculum exceeds that of the local elementary schools, ensuring a smooth transition into your child’s local school system. The curriculum is designed to address each child’s individual needs and learning styles, allowing your child to grow at his/her own pace. We offer full-day instruction (9 am - 3 pm) with Before and After Care options, allowing your child’s day to be coordinated with your own schedule. This means your child spends more time learning, and less time in transition. Our school is open more days per year than public schools, ensuring your child receives the maximum care and instruction possible.
Pre-Kindergarten
Pre-Kindergarten students are naturally curious about the world around them. Our Pre-Kindergarten program encourages our students to investigate new interests and experiences. Children will gain independence while achieving the readiness skills (academic, physical, social, and emotional) needed for a successful transition into Kindergarten. Monthly thematic units provide an array of activities and learning experiences for fun, hands-on, educational opportunities.

We are committed to making this first transition away from home as easy and natural as possible for you and your child.
