Classes
River Road Day Care cares for children 6 weeks to 15 years. Children are separated into classes based on age and developmental milestones. Each classroom contains developmentally appropriate play space, materials, and toys.
Nursery
In our nursery, teachers provide a loving, nurturing environment while focusing on the basic needs of infants. Feeding and naps are based on the each child's individual schedule. Our infant program is designed to make each little one feel safe, secure, and loved. Our infant room staff is knowledgeable in age appropriate activities and milestones that your baby needs. Your baby will receive one on one bonding time with their caregivers and floor activities to help foster developing gross motor skills.
Wobbler
Our Wobbler classroom is a happy, nurturing environment where each child is encouraged to explore and develop new skills at their own pace. Equipment and toys are safe and age appropriate for them. The room arrangement satisfies individual needs by allowing space for eating, sleeping, playing and socializing. Curriculum concepts are taught at an introductory level with plenty of flexibility for shorter attention spans. Projects are fun and messy, yet still meaningful.
Toddler - 1 Year Old Classes
Our Toddler curriculum is designed for curious minds and active little bodies. We understand that during this time of peak early development, two year-olds need secure environments and stimulating experiences. In small classroom settings, our skilled teachers fill your child’s daily routine with a host of engaging activities: arts and crafts, imaginative play, language, rhyming, and counting. Regularly making independent choices and working with a group of peers helps your child gain the strong cooperation skills and confidence necessary for success in preschool and beyond.
Toddler - 2 Year Old Classes
​We know that 2 year olds have many interests and are starting to investigate the widening world by experimenting with their developing use of language and social skills. Our program provides activities to help the children in the Toddler class become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, the children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. This age is a time of enormous educational strides in language, social skills and problem solving. Our program promotes this development by offering a rich variety of projects and activities that build upon established foundations for learning while focusing on advancing language ability, mathematical reasoning, and science. Our curriculum provides opportunities for children to develop independently. We also use learning centers that offer guided experiences to encompass all the skills and understanding necessary for development and academic success.
PreKindergarten
We have developed a happy, safe environment that makes learning fun and builds confidence, instilling a love of learning in each child. Social, emotional, and intellectual growth occur quickly at this stage and it’s important to surround your child with positive learning opportunities. Our preschool program is designed to stimulate your child’s curiosity and train him or her to learn effectively and confidently. Our preschool curriculum uses rhymes, stories and hands-on activities to encourage those first steps toward building the foundational skills for reading, writing, math, and science. Social awareness is also an important stage of development for children at this age. We encourage our preschoolers to respect and be kind and considerate of others, to listen and to follow instructions.
Our program pairs your child's natural talents and curiosity with skilled teachers who will help them to be all they can be. Early reading and math skills, science and nature concepts, artistic and creative expression are just a few of the things we love to teach. Our learning centers are more academically structured at this age as we prepare your child for kindergarten.
After School Care
We provide childcare that allows busy parents to feel comfortable that their children are safe and making productive use of their time after school. Our atmosphere is a positive, fun-filled environment where your children can relax and make friends after school. We focus on helping children with their homework while giving children time to be children in open and unstructured play spaces.
