At Shining Stars, we offer the following programs:
Full-time programs for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and after-school learners.
Program Overview
Infant Program
Our Infant Program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for babies from 6 weeks to around 12 months, focusing on building trust, security, and early development. Each infant follows an individualized schedule that aligns with their feeding, sleeping, and play needs, ensuring comfort and consistency. Caring teachers engage babies through gentle interaction, tummy time, sensory play, music, and story time to encourage motor skills, language development, and social-emotional growth. With a low caregiver-to-child ratio, we provide plenty of one-on-one attention, fostering strong bonds while supporting each child’s milestones in a clean, warm, and loving space.
Pre-Toddler Program
Our Pre-Toddler Program, designed for children roughly 12 to 24 months old, offers a warm, safe, and stimulating environment that supports the exciting transition from infancy to toddlerhood. We focus on encouraging independence, developing early language, and building motor skills through age-appropriate activities such as sensory exploration, music and movement, simple art, and interactive play. Teachers nurture social-emotional growth by guiding children in sharing, expressing needs, and exploring their surroundings with confidence. With a balance of structured routines and plenty of time for discovery, our program helps each child build the skills and curiosity needed for the next stage of learning.
Toddler Program
Our Toddler Program, designed for children ages 12 to 36 months, provides an active, engaging, and nurturing environment where growing independence meets guided learning. Through hands-on activities, imaginative play, music, movement, and early exploration, toddlers develop language skills, problem-solving abilities, and fine and gross motor coordination. Teachers support social-emotional growth by encouraging cooperation, sharing, and self-help skills, while a consistent daily routine fosters security and confidence. With a balance of structured learning and plenty of time for active play, our program helps toddlers build a strong foundation for preschool and beyond.
Pre-K Program
Our Pre-K Program, designed for children ages 3 to 5, prepares young learners for a smooth and confident transition into kindergarten by blending structured learning with creative exploration. Through a balanced curriculum that includes early literacy, math, science, art, and music, children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. Daily activities also promote social-emotional growth, independence, and cooperation, while physical play strengthens coordination and overall health. With experienced teachers, engaging lessons, and a supportive classroom community, our program nurtures curiosity, builds confidence, and fosters a lifelong love of learning.
After School Program
Our After School Program offers a safe, supportive, and engaging space for school-aged children to unwind, learn, and connect after the school day ends. We provide homework assistance, enriching activities such as arts and crafts, STEM projects, and reading, along with plenty of time for active play indoors and outdoors. Our program encourages social interaction, teamwork, and positive behavior while giving children the freedom to explore their interests in a relaxed setting. With caring staff, and a balance of structure and fun, we help children end their day feeling accomplished, connected, and ready to head home.
