Our Programs at ABCDino Academy

A nurturing, developmentally intentional journey from infancy to Kindergarten readiness

At ABCDino Academy, every stage of early childhood is thoughtfully designed to support how children truly grow—through secure relationships, hands-on exploration, meaningful routines, and a warm sense of community. Our programs blend nurturing care with research-backed learning experiences, empowering each child to build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

We offer four beautifully designed learning environments, each crafted to meet children exactly where they are developmentally while gently preparing them for what comes next.

Infant Program (0–12 months)

A calm, connected start to life

Our Infant room is peaceful, responsive, and intentionally simple—because babies thrive with warm relationships, predictable routines, and sensory-rich experiences. Teachers practice floor time engagement, gently guide physical milestones, and narrate throughout the day to build early language and secure attachment. Soft toys, music, reading, and tummy-time activities nurture the very beginning of curiosity. Every baby’s feeding, sleeping, and developmental needs are honored with individualized care.

Waddler Program (12–24 months)

Big feelings, big milestones, big love

As babies become curious, mobile explorers, our Waddler classroom offers a perfectly balanced environment—more challenge than the infant room but with the same cozy, nurturing foundation. This stage focuses on movement, emotional expression, early language, and building the first self-help skills. Teachers model communication, support emotional regulation, and create engaging activities that strengthen coordination, creativity, independence, and emerging social skills. Short group times, sensory play, and open-ended materials help Waddlers make sense of their world with confidence.

Toddler/Preschool Program (2–3 years)

Growing independence and early school readiness

Our Toddler/Preschool room introduces gentle structure and the beginning of community routines. Children participate in short circle times, a predictable daily rhythm, and beginning Preschool lessons tailored to their developmental level. Lessons rotate frequently to keep learning fresh and engaging while respecting short attention spans.
This environment includes:

• Practical life skills (pouring, scooping, cleaning up)

• Early math and language lessons

• Fine-motor and sensory stations

• Creative and pretend play

• Art, music, and movement activities

Children learn to choose work independently, wait for turns, share space respectfully, and focus for longer periods—skills that build confidence, resilience, and emerging academic readiness.

Pre-K Program (3–5 years)

Curiosity, confidence, and lifelong learning

By Pre-K, children are ready for deeper exploration and more complex learning. Our program offers purposeful learning blocks designed to keep them engaged while still honoring play as an essential learning tool. Project work allows children to dive into interests, practice storytelling and presentation skills, and develop creativity. Monthly themes help them make connections to the world around them.
Throughout the day, children experience:

• Small-group lessons

• Multi-step work cycles

• Early literacy and math foundations

• Social-emotional learning

• Collaborative projects

• Outdoor play and gross motor development

They practice empathy, leadership, problem-solving, and independence—skills that prepare them not only for Kindergarten, but for life.

A Whole-Child Approach, Every Step of the Way

No matter the classroom, children at ABCDino Academy experience:

• Warm, responsive relationships with teachers who truly know them

• Thoughtfully designed environments that respect each developmental stage

• Play-based, hands-on learning grounded in early childhood research

• Consistent routines that help children feel secure and confident

• Community-building experiences that nurture kindness, empathy, and belonging

Every child’s journey is unique—and at ABCDino Academy, we’re honored to support each step with intention, care, and joyful learning.
