Ready to Grow, Ready to Learn

Individualized child care for children between 6 weeks and 3 years old.

Ready to Grow embraces the philosophy of primary care giving that allows for nurturing and attachment to/from your child's primary caregiver.

The role of the primary caregiver is to:

  • Provide the essential link of communication between you and the program
  • Empower parents as the child's first and most important teacher and caregiver
  • ​​​​​​Provide positive learning experiences for the children in their care
  • Nurture each individual child
  • Observe, monitor and evaluate to insure each family's experience at Ready to Grow is a positive one.

Your child will be valued, encouraged, held and treated with unconditional, positive regard.

The Ready to Learn curriculum focuses on school readiness in the areas of

  • language and literacy
  • science and math
  • creative art and music
  • dramatic play and movement
  • health and nutrition

We believe play is a central component to the curriculum.

Early childhood research shows children learn best when engaged in hands-on learning experiences which occur during a child's play.  

Ready to Learn focuses on individualized care and small group activities for preschool-age children.

Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to nurture the development of the child.
