Infant Program
Our Infant, Tyke and Toddler classrooms now use Brightwheel to communicate with families daily! Brightwheel is an app for your phone where we can record all of your child's diaper changes, bottles/food, and other daily activities. You can see exactly what your child is doing at anytime of the day!
2 Weeks - 14 Months - The Covenant HealthCare Children’s Center accepts infants at two weeks of age. We provide a safe, clean environment to ensure that all objects and surfaces allow infants to exercise their natural curiosity. Infants receive individual attention from caring and responsible teachers. The attention and affection of our skilled staff help contribute to an infants’ sense of well-being.
Naps, feeding and play times follow the child’s schedule. The teachers will provide a chart of the child’s daily activities and will work with each parent regarding their infant’s special needs. Parents will be asked to provide formula/breast milk and other needed accessories on a daily basis.

Tyke Program
14 Months - 24 Months - This unique transitional program provides an environment rich in opportunities and encourages children to develop their gross motor skills as well as learning to get along within a group. Children begin to get used to a schedule with activities, meals and naps occurring at the same time daily. This consistency promotes a feeling of control and security in a child. Children progress to the toddler program when they are developmentally ready.

Pre-kindergarten Program
4 Years - 5 Years - The pre-kindergarten program is based upon the belief that children are curious, competent, strong and capable in their living and learning and that they must play an active role in their learning process. Activities and projects emerge from the children’s discussions, investigations and ideas.
During activities and projects, all aspects of the child’s developmental growth are incorporated such as:
- Literacy growth: Children making signs, writing letters and reading informational books.
- Mathematics: Measuring, counting, graphing and classification.
- Fine motor skills: Using scissors, stringing small objects and holding a pencil with thumb and two fingers.
There are times throughout the day set aside for small and large group interactions as well as outdoor time. Positive self-esteem, social interaction, self-expression and communications skills are incorporated in all experiences.
