Infants "Little Owls"
6 weeks - 18 months
At EBDLC we pride ourselves in our Early Childhood Program. Our trained staff will provide your baby a loving, safe, and enriching environment. Our Infant Curriculum encourages creative expression and language development by the use of songs, interactive finger-play, sign-language, and baby yoga with our certified dance instructor. In addition, we focus on the fine motor skills of each individual child by analyzing their cognitive and physical development. Infants learn best through sensory and tactile activities in which they will be able to experience through our touch-and-feel aspect of our curriculum.

Health and Safety
We know how important it is to keep your little one safe and healthy, which is why all of our teachers are certified in Infant/Child and Adult CPR, and First Aid. We also have a strict "Shoe-Free” environment and a disinfecting procedure in our Infant Classroom. We provide shoe covers for each person entering the classrooms and ask that all siblings remain outside the room. Every surface is sanitized throughout the day with safe cleaning products, toys undergo a 3 Step Disinfecting Dunking process, and each crib is assigned to one baby and is wiped down before and after use.
Toddlers "Little Chicks"
18 months - 36 months
Curriculum
At EBDLC we have developed curriculum that focuses on Toddler’s Social and Emotional Development, by building their independence with processed art work and science experiments. Their inquisitive personality will thrive with our hands on curriculum as they begin to develop parallel play and may dabble for moments in cooperative play. Two year old's will start making choices and demand independence, in which we are prepared to redirect, channel, and mold into a positive quality in which they will be able to use to hit those milestones. Our trained Toddler Teachers will execute activities that will entice their curiosity with hands on activities to master their fine motor skills. Rest assure, whether your child is learning to walk, drink out of a cup, or discovering the blending of colors, it is important for this age group to feel supportive and have their ego stage met, thus the unconditional love and care we are excited to give.

We understand that staying as safe and healthy as possible is a must, especially in times like these, which is why our staff is cleaning and disinfecting throughout the day. Toddlers enjoy exploring items by using their senses, thus the dunking disinfectant bucket for mouthed toys in every class. In addition, toys are rotated for use to ensure the previous used toys are cleaned off before the next use with the use friendly products to sanitize and disinfect all surfaces throughout the day. Lastly, our Toddler Teachers have a strict closing procedure in which they deep clean the classroom at the end of every day.
Preschool "Mighty Ducks"
(Pre-K1) - 3 year old
Curriculum
At EBDLC we focus on the learning development of each individual child. At the Preschool level, they are transitioning from an independent and ego stage to a more self aware and coherent stage, which is why we have developmental appropriate approved curriculum.
This allows us to follow the curriculum that will be needed for their ongoing academic education. Teachers will utilize activities to enhance the curriculum to increase the children’s executive functions, cognitive development, social and emotional development, and their Language and Literacy development. Through the curriculum and enhancements, children will be able to recognize their numbers, letters, sounds, and work on writing sight words.
​
Communication
As in any age group, communication is important for the child’s educational growth, which is why we have an app available that allows you to message the teacher directly. Via ProCare, you are able to receive daily updates about your child’s day, incident reports, pictures/videos, and any important center updates.
Health and Safety
As COVID still impacts our lives, at EBDLC, we undergo a series of sanitization and disinfection procedures throughout the day with CDC approved cleaning products. In addition, we have a cleaning crew that comes in three times a week after hours for an added precaution. Each child and teacher is screened in the morning, and will be denied access if they
do not pass the screening process. For added measures, we are not allowing any unauthorized personnel to enter. Pick ups and drop offs are handled by staff in the front of the center, and the use of masks and/or gloves maybe deemed mandatory for all staff members at certain times.
Pre-K2 "Happy Hoppers"
4 year olds
Curriculum
As a child enters the next milestone in their life, Pre-K is a time when the majority of a child's basic concept understanding will be determined. At EBDLC we take the time to build each developmental milestone in the children that attend our school. This is where we master our learning of the letter sounds, fine motor skills and start learning to read.
This is the reason that we follow the curriculum that will be needed for their ongoing academic education. Our teachers ensure that when each child reaches the critical age of four they are ready to retain and understand the concepts that will be taught and will be well prepared for Kindergarten. Children will be in an enriching environment where they are in control of their learning and each child has the opportunity to express themselves and discover and experience their learning in a uniquely individual way.
Communication
At EBDLC, we want to be a home away from home, which makes communication very important for us. We want to ensure that not only your child, but the family is comfortable
in knowing that their most prized possessions are being taken care of properly. In order for the
children to strive in their education, we believe that open and honest communication will aid in making your child feel comfortable and be open to learn.

Before & After School
Our before/after school program combines learning and fun for ages 5-12. Available before school (6:00am-7:30am) and after school (3:00pm-6:00pm) our program offers a homework period, outdoor games and activities, movies, art projects, and much more! Focused on building the whole child up, our school age program presents learning in a laid back and loosely structures setting, giving our big kids the chance to take a breath after a long day at school. These big kids are full of curiosity and ingenuity, tackling life's big problems (like how to build the perfect racetrack, using science to make exploding goo, or creating one-of-a kind masterpieces) and learning how to be leaders and positive role models.
Care is offered Monday through Friday, before and/or after school and on holidays like spring break, winter break, and summer.
