Our Program

Creative & inspiring ... eager and ready learners is our goal.

  • Family model - Our centers feature primary care teachers and multi-age care groups. We view staff, children, and parents as extended family.
  • Intergenerational dimension - Through specifically designed and developmentally appropriate activities, our children learn to appreciate and interact with the residents of the retirement community, our Grandfriends.
  • Teaching lab - Our centers serve as field experience sites for Northwestern College student teachers. This program raises the adult/child ratio, brings us fresh ideas and keeps our teachers at the forefront of their field.
  • Music education - Our music specialist teaches the fundamentals of music, including singing, playing rhythm instruments and creative movement.
