Child Care Center is accredited by the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The Child Care Center offers
pre-school, kindergarten, after-school, and toddler programs. The goal of the program is
to be an extension of the parent and to help each child succeed. All programs are located

Program Components
Toddler Program
| The Toddler Program includes children from fifteen months to two years,
nine months. Toddlers are allowed to grow, develop and experience the world at their own
pace, in a safe, warm and nurturing environment. All children are cared for by experienced
well trained professionals in the field of Early Childhood Education. |
Pre- School Program
| The Pre-School Program services children from two years, nine months
through five years of age. The classroom environment and curriculum follow the standards
recommended by The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). All
classrooms include mixed age groupings of three, four and five year old children. All
activities are geared to the individual abilities and developmental needs of each child. |
Kindergarten Program
| The Kindergarten Program services children who meet the age eligibility
requirement. A child must be five years of age by September 1st of the calendar
year in order to enter this Program. The Kindergarten curriculum is based on
developmentally appropriate practices emphasizing positive self-image and social growth
while meeting the desired learning goals in the areas of language, math, science and
creative expression. |
School Age Program
| The School Age Program services children ages six to eleven who are in the
first grade and up. The Program follows the Lawrence Public school year calendar. Children
attend the Program full day during all School vacations throughout the year including the
summer months. School age children are transported to the Center by our bus from Lawrence
Public Schools daily. The Program offers recreational activities such as sports, games,
drama, arts and crafts, cooking and special events including fieldtrips. |
