972.218.0808 Classes: Infant & Toddlers Kid’s University offers infants an ideal environment that stimulates their senses and is fun and safe. Our state licensed teachers provide a warm, loving and caring place for babies to grow and learn. We hold our babies when feeding from bottles, place them on their tummies to help build their upper body strength and prepare them to crawl and walk. We play music, sing, clap, read stories and use “regular” words to help process language and build an extensive vocabulary which will assist students in a stronger educational foundation. Toddlers II & Preschool Because we know toddlers love to explore and our state licensed teachers provide a classroom environment that helps toddlers explore skills like pushing, pulling, sorting, crawling, and walking. We use additional ways such as songs, center time, circle time (morning-meet time), rhyming and nursery rhymes to help our toddlers in the learning process. Potty learning (training) is our specialty. When parents and toddlers are ready for this stage, we are there to support. Pre-Kindergarten- Carolyn A. Young Private School Each day is planned with a variety of hands-on activities to encourage listening and socializing skills. Students are also encouraged to solve problems, take turns, and show sympathy for others. Students are introduced to expanding vocabulary words, math, science, colors, shapes, and much more. Our goal is to be sure students are ready and capable for kindergarten emotionally, physically, socially, and behaviorally. We develop a strong parent-teacher partnership to assist in this process of building this firm foundation and a love for learning. Before & After Care – Transportation Let our state licensed transportation vans and drivers pick up your students from our facility, take them to their respective elementary schools and return them back to our facility once school has concluded.
