Our Preschool Programs
Infants Ages: 2 Months – 18 Months
At Cinnamon Tree, we understand the trust parents place in us to care for their most precious treasures. Our infant room is designed to replicate the comfort and warmth of home, offering spaces to move, explore, play, and relax. Personal cribs and separate areas for changing, feeding, and play ensure a safe and nurturing environment. Our caring infant teachers form strong bonds with the children, providing individual care and developmental activities tailored to each baby’s needs. This secure bond helps infants confidently explore their environment and grow.
Toddlers Ages: 18 Months – 3 Years
The toddler years bring an incredible burst of growth in language, social, and motor skills. To meet these developmental needs, we divide our toddler classes into smaller groups with an age span of just 4–6 months. This allows teachers to tailor activities to the specific developmental level of each group. Toddler classrooms feature climbing equipment for gross motor development, quiet spaces for reading and recharging, manipulatives for fine motor skills, and an art room for sensory exploration and creativity.
Preschool / Pre-K Ages: 3 – 4 Years
Our preschool and pre-kindergarten program fosters self-confidence and a love of learning. Through independent exploration, hands-on activities, and engaging lessons, children develop foundational skills in reading readiness, math, science, and social interaction. Our curriculum aligns with New York State Pre-kindergarten Learning Standards, ensuring children are well-prepared for kindergarten. Teachers create meaningful and interactive learning experiences that help children become problem solvers and enthusiastic learners.
Nursery Program
For families seeking a half-day preschool option, our nursery program offers social experiences and kindergarten readiness activities within a structured four-hour day. The nursery classroom is separate from the full-day program to meet the distinct needs of both groups, ensuring smooth transitions and focused communication between parents and staff. Weekly themes incorporate art, stories, songs, outdoor play, and individualized attention from teachers with strong backgrounds in early childhood education.
Before and After-School
Cinnamon Tree offers a flexible before and after-school program designed to balance learning and fun for kindergarten through students in 5th grade. This program provides homework assistance, art projects, indoor and outdoor games, and access to a game room tailored for older children. During school breaks or closures, children enjoy special theme-oriented activities. For first through sixth graders, we offer supervised assistance for online learning and school assignments, adapting to families’ needs during uncertain school schedules.
