Early Learning
Safe, inviting childcare environments designed to meet the various developmental needs of children from six weeks old through preschool. Our teachers are trained in the Pyramid Model framework and most centers are enrolled in Granite Steps for Quality.
Early learning is the foundation for a happy, healthy life!
Great Teachers
Our early childhood teachers have a strong understanding of early childhood development and love what they do.
Designated Spaces
Childcare classrooms are completely separate from Boys & Girls Club after school programs, with a few exceptions (such as the use of a gym while the older children are at school).

Infants and Toddlers
Visual, auditory, and tactile experiences support infants’ cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction, and problem-solving. Toddlers learn through play, while rapidly developing self-awareness, life skills, concentration skills, and social skills. They begin to learn important early cognitive skills, such as colors and shapes.
Preschool
Play is crucial for all areas of development at this age. We believe in an interest-driven curriculum, meaning that teachers observe the children’s group and individual interests and plan learning activities accordingly. We continue to emphasize social skills and emotional regulation. For cognitive development, letters, numbers, phonics, counting and more are introduced in creative ways.
