Features & Highlights
Sensory
Classrooms are designed to provide sensory stimulation, which is vital to a child's learning process.
Low Ratios
Each classroom has low teacher to child ratios to ensure that each child has the opportunity to get the attention they need to grow most successfully.
Socio Emotional
At each developmental level children are empowered to grow socially and emotionally from expressing their emotions vocally, to using problem solving skills during conflicts.
Physical
As small and large motor skills are developing, classrooms are tailored to support your child's physical growth.
Cognitive
As each child grows physically, they are also growing cognitively. Each classroom is equipped to foster the unique needs at each age.
Outdoor classroom
Our unique natural playgounds and outdoor classroom provide several physical and developmental benefits for each child.
Programs
At Milestones, our curriculum approach is based upon the Milestones philosophy and is designed to provide children with developmentally appropriate learning experiences throughout every day. Based upon principles of child development and upon the understanding that learning occurs throughout all portions of the daily routine, planned learning experiences take place both individually and in small groups.
