      <image:title>Programs for Preschool / Pre-K</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Natures Place, we offer a combined preschool and Pre-k program.  This program is for children aged approximately 3.5 years of age until your child enters Kindergarten. There are many benefits and successes of a multi-age group and find the age range to be hugely rewarding for children and teachers alike!  We offer flexible options for scheduling but know that the program is preschool, pre-k and childcare all in one! Children who are enrolled for childcare receive the same program, with the same group of children who are here for preschool or pre-k only programming. Check out our curriculum!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Programs for Preschool / Pre-K</image:title>
      <image:caption>We prepare children for the successes and challenges of kindergarten while we work on all areas of development. We work with the local elementary school teachers to have a better idea of what skills new kindergarteners can have, especially those coming from full (or even part time) care, as well as ensuring our curriculum meets Early Learning Standards and some Kindergarten Readiness Indicators. As an early learning program, our goal is to help make the transition from our early care and education program to elementary school as smooth as possible! We want families to know we recognize that just as each of us as adults learn differently, so do children and they will all develop in their own time!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Daycare for Infants and Toddlers</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our first priority is always that children are safe, both physically and emotionally, while working hard to have a FUN and wonder filled learning environment with as many nature inspired materials as we can possibly incorporate. Some of our nature inspired materials include pinecones, tree cookies, corks, rocks, sand, small and large wooden building blocks and more. We also have a large climbing structure inside our program that enables the toddlers to use their “big bodies” and muscles to climb, crawl, jump, and navigate stairs safely. We create a safe environment for both children and families to grow together within our program. We use a combination of theme units, emergent curriculum, and nature when we plan our academic year throughout the whole center.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Daycare for Infants and Toddlers</image:title>
      <image:caption>The toddler program is for children ages 18 months thru 3 ½ years old. There are many benefits and successes of a multi-aged group and we find the age range to be hugely rewarding for both the children and teachers alike. It’s an exciting time to play a role in your children’s growth - from being a young toddler to preparing them for the preschool/pre-k classroom. The main goal of the toddler program is to teach and encourage many skills such as: self-help skills, social emotional skills, encouraging growth in language development, assistance in toilet training, and other daily interactions. A lot of these skills are modeled and learned through hands-on activities and through free play. “Children learn the best through play” is our motto! Check out our curriculum!</image:caption>
