About Our Rooms
Little Einstein Preschool offers child care services across different classrooms, sorted by age to cater to each groups specific needs. All classrooms offer a balanced mix of quiet and active times, small and large group learning, and teacher-facilitated and child-initiated activities, and what makes them special for each child.
The daily schedule includes age-appropriate reading time, interactive games, and healthy meals. The classrooms offer play-based learning and promote outdoor activities like water and sand play, reading, and artistic expression with chalk.
We are also delighted to announce that we offer the prestigious Waterford Educational Program for our Pre-K learners! By combining the science of learning, the power of mentoring, and cutting-edge technology, we are fostering excellence in early education and preparing children for a global, technological age.
At Little Einstein Preschool, we understand that every infant is special and unique. Our dedicated infant care teachers take the time to get to know each child’s individual needs and routines, including their feeding and sleeping schedules, and any comfort items they may have.
We customize each baby’s day to ensure that they receive the love and attention they need. During daily routines such as meal times and care routines, our caregivers interact with babies by talking, singing, and playing, turning each moment into a potential learning opportunity. We encourage babies to be active by providing opportunities for tummy time, rolling, crawling, pulling up and reaching. We also take babies outside for fresh air and stroller walks.
Our curriculum is woven into every child’s daily schedule, and we Enrich, Explore, and Educate during times when the babies are alert and ready to learn. Our teachers post weekly activities on the Classroom Communication Board and Lesson Plans, so families can stay informed.
Little Einstein Preschool offers a well-rounded and balanced day for one-year-olds. Our Education Small Group provides developmentally appropriate activities in math, literacy and science. Our teachers use fun and interactive games to establish a solid foundation for emerging skills. We know that imagination is an important aspect of learning, which is why we make time to gather and share stories every day.
We focus on sensory experiences in creative arts, sensory play, and open-ended materials. We provide hands-on activities to foster a love of learning through play. We offer opportunities for children to explore blocks and building, languages and books, fine motor and manipulatives, music, dramatic play, and creative arts. Our teachers create a variety of props and learning games to enhance toddlers’ learning and engage their curiosity and imagination.
We believe that balance is key to a two-year-old’s day at our child care center. Our Monkey’s room provides a mix of quiet and active times, small and large group learning, and child-initiated and teacher-facilitated activities, all of which make for a fun and enriching day!
Our toddlers learn in small groups every day. We focus on developmentally appropriate math, literacy, and science activities. Our teachers engage our Monkeys in fun and interactive games that provide a strong educational foundation for their emerging skills. They also share stories, engage in learning games, and sing and dance, allowing them to have fun and build friendships.
We offer our Exploration Small Group every day. Our teachers plan activities that involve creative arts, sensory and open-ended materials, and other hands-on experiences that facilitate discovery learning.
Our mixed-ages class, the Monkeys, offers an excellent transitional stage between 2 and 3-years-old, to accommodate for the rapid development at this stage of your toddler's life. Elements of both the Elephants and Koalas classrooms are merged so that the step between developmental levels is less daunting and every child's needs are met. It can also help prepare your child for the next stage of their journey with us, by offering a smooth transition and gradual introduction to the milestones of the subsequent 3-year-old's room.
We gather all our three-year-olds as a group to talk about our day, plan our learning journey, and share stories. Children explore and experiment in small groups as they solve problems and record their observations. Our teachers integrate elements of science, math, social studies, and creative arts each day to encourage children to develop their skills.
Our teachers often read stories aloud to foster a love for reading and encourage children to read. They plan rich literacy engagements every day that develop essential skills such as concepts of print, phonological awareness, letter-sound knowledge, vocabulary, oral language, listening, and reading comprehension.
Children lead their own learning during our Enriching Playtime. Our center is designed to give children independence and promote unique learning opportunities. Children can choose from a variety of activities including dramatic play, construction, literacy, writing, creative arts, math/manipulatives, science, computers, easel and sensory tables.
