Programs for every age & stage
From your first infant snuggles to busy school-age summers, every Learning Garden room is thoughtfully designed for where your child is right now — and ready to grow with them.
Gentle beginnings, lots of cuddles
Our youngest learners get the lowest ratios and the warmest care. We follow your child's rhythm — feedings, naps, tummy time, and plenty of one-on-one connection.
- Infants — 6 weeks to 12 months
- Young toddlers — 12 to 24 months
- Daily reports so you never miss a milestone
- Safe, cozy rooms designed for exploration
Curious minds on the move
This is the age of "why?" — and we love it. Hands-on activities, early language, music, and social play help busy toddlers build independence and confidence.
- Dedicated Twos room and Threes room
- Potty-training partnership with families
- Early STEM, art, and outdoor play every day
Ready for kindergarten & beyond
Our fours move into intentional Preschool and Pre-K learning. Through our process-based curriculum, children build the early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills that set them up to thrive.
- Age-based curriculum for Preschool & Pre-K
- Confidence, focus, and a love of learning
- Spanish & dance enrichment sign-ups available
School-age care that fits your day
For kindergarten through 5th grade, we offer reliable before- and after-school care with transportation to and from select Meridian schools — and we're open on school-out days when families still need to work.
- Transportation to Mary McPherson & Siena Elementary
- Bus service to/from Spalding STEM & PepperRidge
- Gem Prep bus service before & after school
- Open on school-out & in-service days
More attention for every child
Small group sizes mean your child is truly seen, known, and cared for.
School-age groups are kept small and split into juniors and seniors for activities and field trips.
A process-based approach that follows the child
We focus on how children learn rather than just the finished product. Instead of perfect crafts and worksheets, we encourage hands-on exploration, creativity, problem-solving, and discovery.
Children are given the freedom to experiment, ask questions, and learn through play at their own developmental pace — helping build confidence, independence, and a true love of learning. It's a 52-week, year-round model with age-based teachings for every group, including Preschool and Pre-K.
