Programs
Toddler I                                                                               12 months to 2 years
As infants develop into young toddlers they become busy active learners.  Our tots are
learning about themselves and the world around them.  The activities are led by each toddler’s
individual skills and interests.  Our young toddler program promotes physical, creative and
social/emotional development.  You can expect daily communication on our “My Day” reports.
Infant                                                                                                                             6 wks to 12 months
Our infants experience daily doses of love and nurturing individual attention from our
dedicated staff.  The environment is filled with stimulating soft toys and equipment to
encourage your baby’s first year’s growth and development.  You can expect daily
communication about your infant’s day, including diapering, naptime and feeding. Most
importantly, you can be assured your baby is spending time in an atmosphere of love and
trust!
School-Age                                                                                  5 years to 12 years
After a full day at school, our after schoolers experience a balance of fun and learning.  Our
school-agers know that A.R.L.A. is a safe place to spend time before and after school.  They
can burn energy outside, receive help with homework, spend time reading and meeting new
friends.  Our program also offers camp programs during the summer, holidays and in the
spring.  
Pre-Kindergarten                                                                              4 year olds
The year before your child enters kindergarten is a critical time in his/her life to develop early
literacy skills.  Our pre-kindergarteners experience several stimulating learning centers,
including math, manipulatives, science and sensorial, reading and listening, writing,
computers, dramatic play, construction and design and creative art. The physical growth of
each pre-k child is also very important.  Daily fitness fun activities help develop the large
muscles of our four and five year olds.  Ongoing assessments, communicated to you twice
annually via parent/teacher conferences, will keep you informed of your child’s learning
progress.  
Pre-School                                                                                       3 year olds
Our inquisitive preschoolers are gently guided toward making the transition from individual to
group interaction; where they begin to learn sharing and social skills.  Our program integrates
play and structured learning activities with an abundance of literacy, computers, fitness fun,
math, science, manipulative, creative art and movement experiences.  By offering a wide
variety of age appropriate, hands on activities, your preschooler will learn in a way that is both
fun and educational.
Toddler III                                                                               2 1/2 years to 3 years
Our two-and-one-half to three year old transition program is carefully planned to promote
learning and exploration.  Your child will be provided appropriate opportunities to grow in
self-direction and independence.  Our Toddler III program will encourage your child to
think, reason, remember and make choices.  We will also provide every opportunity possible
for your child to develop his/her own interest at hi/her own pace.
Toddler II                                                                                          2 years olds
Our toddler twos are experiencing and learning independence.  “I can do it” and “no” are
common growth characteristics of two year olds. Our program will encourage their verbal
expressions and provide endless opportunities to talk, sing and express themselves.  The
stories, creative art activities and fitness fun will help prepare your child for preschool; by
developing his/her understanding of new concepts, language, vocabulary and sensory motor
skills.
