Infants
6 weeks - 13 months
Maximum Class Size: 8 infants with one lead
teacher and a teacher assistant
Our infant room provides your child with love and individual attention. The spacious and bright room is the perfect place for your child to be nurtured by our experienced and well trained staff.
Small class size allows us to offer hands-on activities to help your child reach their developmental milestones.
Daily activities include plenty of opportunities to roll, sit up, kick and laugh! Music and story, sensory activities and outside time are included daily. If weather does not permit outside time, infants can spend time in our “barn” for some additional gross motor activity.
Worried about your child’s schedule? Don’t be! Little Blessings will work with your preferred feeding and sleeping schedule which you may update at any time.
Chapel time and music classes will be held weekly once we are able to safely gather together again.
Waddlers

(walking steadily)
Maximum Class Size: 8 children with one

As your waddler starts exploring the world on their own, they are ready to transition into the waddler room where they will be encouraged to explore and gain independence,
Daily lessons will include both group and individual activities to develop their:
-
Five Senses: Touching, smelling, hearing, seeing and even tasting all new experiences for your waddler

Individual chairs with safety belts will help your child develop upper body strength while feeling like a “big kid” sitting at the child sized tables for meals and activities.
Cots are used for nap time when the room is darkened and soft, relaxing music is played.
Chapel time and music classes will be held weekly once we are able to safely gather together again.
Toddlers
24 months - 36 months
Maximum Class Size: 8 children with one
lead teacher and a teacher assistant.
As your child moves into the toddler room, they will continue to develop their independence and start to experience a more traditional school routine in their day.
Age appropriate circle time activities will help develop their attention span as well as help your child to become aware of the world around them.
Social/Emotional development is included as toddlers learn to express their feelings through words and dramatic play as their verbal skills grow by leaps and bounds.
Art expression is not only fun but a bit messy!
Blocks allow imaginations to grow as well as developing simple math skills.
Song and dance movements become a way to not only have fun but provide opportunity to develop memory and direction following skills by using instruments and repeating rhythms and simple lyrics.
Chapel time and music classes will be held weekly once we are able to safely gather together again.
Preschool/Pre-K
3 years - 5 years
Maximum Class Size: 13 children with one
preschool teacher and one Pre-K teacher.
Lesson plans are created specifically for your child’s age group by their teacher using the Connecticut Early Learning Development Standards.
Teacher assessments are on-going to be sure your child is equipped for their kindergarten experience with formal parent/teacher conferences taking place in the spring.
The classroom is arranged in centers for your child to explore art, math, science, dramatic play, language arts, reading and fine motor activities.
Hands on activities can be messy! Please be sure your child has comfortable clothes that they can get messy in.
Circle time activities include talking about weather, numbers, letters, colors or the current interests of the class.
Our spacious outdoor playground is visited twice daily, weather permitting. If the weather does not cooperate, children will spend time in the “barn” where they can ride bikes, play parachute activities, basketball or just run off some extra energy with friends.
