Our facility was built specifically for childcare. It's not an old, converted school. We have ten delightful classrooms comfortably spaced across our three-acre campus.
Our child-centered environment is filled with toys and activities that promote learning and encourage personal development. Most classrooms include elevated lofts, reading centers, craft tables, block areas, group circle spaces, and computer stations. Our entire facility was designed with high ceilings, full-height windows, and wide corridors.
ROOM 1: TODDLERS
Cozy Room 1 is sized just right for our Toddler program, age 12-24 months. Wide open spaces for cruising promote large-motor skills, and bright colors inspire creativity and learning.
Room 1 isn't the only place these little guys play! With our four-seater buggy, we take trips all around the St. Elizabeth's campus, visiting brothers, sisters, and friends in other classrooms and playgrounds!
To minimize transitions, our nutritious meals are delivered by our kitchen staff. Our sink and changing table are situated along one wall, to help us maintain cleanliness.
In addition to a room designed specifically for them, Toddlers play outside in their own Playground.
ROOMS 2 & 3: EARLY PRESCHOOL
Our Early Preschool Childcare program needs a room with lots of adventure, to challenge and inspire the development of our Two-Year-Old children.
Room 2 and Room 3 both feature taller lofts and more-advanced play areas, along with indoor bathrooms for potty-training. Room 3 is the primary room for our Early Preschoolers, and Room 2 provides additional space for older children still working on potty-training.
And, right outside the door of their own classroom, Early Preschoolers can explore their own Playground, complete with swings, and a castle.
ROOMS 4 & 5: PRESCHOOL
Our three-year-old classrooms bring kids and teachers together for great social experiences. Room 4 and Room 5 each have reading centers, activity stations, quiet lofts, and computer kiosks. These two classrooms also share an outdoor activity space for their exclusive use.
ROOMS 6 & 7: PRE-K
Our most energetic and advanced classrooms are designed to meet the needs of our growing kids. Room 6 and Room 7 sit side-by-side, sharing energy and using a team-teaching approach to keep four-year-olds engaged.
