Our classrooms are all curriculum-based and tailored
to meet your child's behavioral, social, and developmental needs and goals. Lesson plans are custom developed monthly
by our teachers and reviewed/approved by the Director. Lesson plans incorporate language, vocabulary, art, music, writing,
math and science, as well as time for free play and dramatic play.
Children are assigned to a specific classroom with one dedicated and loving full time teacher who will get to
know your child and your family very well. Developmental screenings are completed every three months.
Children are transitioned into the next level classroom based on physical, social, cognitive, emotional and
behavioral milestones.
Infant (age 6 weeks - app. 15 months), Ratio
4:1
We maintain a true 4 to 1 infant to teacher ratio, not 8:2, which means your baby will be in
a room with a maximum of 3 other infants and one teacher. We feel this smaller environment provides less exposure
to illnesses, reduces overstimulation and allows the infant to bond with one special teacher.
Toddler I ( app. age 15 months - 24 months), Ratio 6:1
Toddler II (app. age 24 - 36 months), Ratio 7:1
Our toddler program incorporates
the elements of the curriculum outlined above, with an emphasis on the development of social skills and greater independence.
Preschool (app. age 3), Ratio 9:1
Preschool (app. ages 4 -
6), Ratio 10:1
The preschool program is focused on making sure your child is extremely well prepared for
entering Kindergarten, academically and socially. Emphasis is on pre-reading and writing skills, and the development
of excellent social skills and key traits such as responsibility and respect for others.
In addition to our regular
curriculum, we offer additional optional classes on-site in gymnastics, literacy, computers, and Spanish.
SCA is licensed and accredited by the Department of Human Services (DHS), and complies
with all guidelines established by DHS, the Health Department, and local fire department requirements.
Our Staff
SCA has 14 full time teachers, one for each classroom,
as well as several full time float teachers. Float teachers assist in classrooms, on the playgrounds and as
familiar substitutes when the regular teacher is out.
All teachers have experience in early childhood education,
either by degree or additional training. SCA requires 18 additional hours per year of certified continuing education
training for each teacher, and 40 hours of additional certified training for the Director. Additionally, all staff are
CPR and First Aid certified, updated and validated each year.
