Toddler Programs
Ages 15 months - 2 years 8 months
Full-Time
Toddlers learn from playing in a warm, inviting environment with familiar activities. Every day is a new experience based on their natural curiosity. The children sing, dance, climb structures, paint, dress-up, use sensory materials, listen to stories and play outside.
Through these experiences, the children develop language, motor and social skills. Our Toddler teachers are kind, caring people who have chosen to work with this magical age group.
Decidedly Different and Award Winning Programs
Preschool Programs
Ages 2 years 9 months to 6
Full-Time Year Round Programs and 9-3 School Year Programs
Knoll-Edge offers an innovative approach to early childhood Pre-school programming. We employ instructional methods which appeal to different learning styles and work to incorporate all disciplines – language arts, math, science, drama, and music – into each unit. The children are not grouped, but rather work individually with each classroom teacher during the day, and play together as a whole.
Working individually with each child allows us to appreciate where each child is in his or her own development, and allows us to offer each child the opportunity to grow at his or her own pace. It is the process that matters to us, not the product. The children are given ample time for exploration and socialization with different teacher personalities and styles. This is our team teaching approach. We have found that this approach to early childhood education promotes independent learners and enables children to learn to cooperate and thrive in an environment of their peers. Our goal is for each child to always be actively engaged. No activity at Knoll-Edge is ever routine.
Pre-K Program
Ages 4 years - 5 years of age.
Full-Time Year Round Programs and 9-3 School Year Programs
Our pre-kindergarten program mimics the same approach as our preschool program, with the addition of integrating STEM into our daily curriculum. Each pre-k student has their own individual science/math journals as well as language journals that they work in weekly. These journals document knowledge learned as well as measures growth and development throughout the school year.
A long with working in collaboration with a teacher, our pre-k students participate in child-directed group play, which often will incorporate activities and lessons learned during teacher/student time. We feel that giving our students the time to collaborate with their peers provides valuable opportunities to work on their social interactions, cognitive development, turn-taking skills, listening and acceptance to ideas that may be different from their own, and further develops the imagination.
