Agape Childcare Learning Center
The Infant Program serves children ages six weeks to seventeen months. Our classroom accommodates up to five infants and is supervised by one to two teachers at any given time. Agapé CCLC’s youngest participants spend their days in a stimulating, clean, and developmentally appropriate environment led by a team of nurturing educators who develop an individualized plan for each child's care in partnership with his or her parents. Our classroom environment is filled with toys and materials that foster the development of each child's fine motor skills and provide them with substantial opportunities to engage physical development. The children experience language growth through immersion in sign language, music, and books, creating a sense of community driven by the new relationships formed with their teachers and other children.
The Toddler Program serves children ages eighteen months to three years. Our Toddler classrooms accommodates up to fifteen children and is led by two to three teachers at any given time. Agapé CCLC’s Toddler Program supports each child's ever-developing sense of self, growing independence, and flourishing physical abilities through a curriculum designed to help prepare children for transition to our Preschool Program. As the toddlers mature, our teachers encourage the children to begin looking at the world through different eyes, a foundational necessity for a lifetime of learning. Concepts such as number and letter recognition begin to prepare them for reading and math, while exploring and creating art through interactive, hands-on activities help them develop self-expression in the context of a fun, balanced learning environment.
The Preschool Program serves children ages three to five years. Our classroom accommodates up to twenty children and is led by two to three teachers at any given time. Agapé CCLC maintains a classroom environment that is integral to everyday learning experiences, and all equipment, materials, and furniture is sized accordingly. The Center provides all children with a physical environment that supports their growing independence by providing a variety of developmentally appropriate materials. In addition, Agapé CCLC’s curriculum taps into the natural curiosity of childhood, allowing each child to engage their minds, hands, and hearts to explore the world around them with energy, pride, and enthusiasm. The primary focus of our Preschool Program is to prepare students both socially and academically for kindergarten. Our block area cultivates the development of mathematical concepts regarding shapes, balance, and spatial relationships. In the science curricula, children learn about the scientific method through guided intuitive curiosity. Through our art program, children will be coached to embrace the process of creating art for its own creative value. And through our library, children enjoy familiar books or find new books to explore—either on their own or as read to them by their teachers. Active participation in the classroom daily not only builds critical socio-emotional skills as they form individual friendships but aids the important development of a sense of belonging to a larger local and global community.
The School Age Program serves children ages six to twelve years. We welcome school age kids, morning, and evening. Our classrooms accommodate up to twenty-six children and is led by two to three teachers at any given time. Our before and after care programs go beyond homework help. Agapé CCLC maintains a classroom environment that supports children in becoming kind, capable, and resilient. We give each child space and materials and encourage them to be creative and to follow their passions. We create positive communities of friendship with games, activities, plenty of time to play to keep them happy and healthy.
