Peacemaking begins on the playground

Early Adventures Preschool & Daycare at Crossroads provides a loving, supportive, and developmentally appropriate educational environment open to all children aged 6 weeks through 6 years. We recognize that each child learns differently and at his or her own pace. It is our goal to provide as many opportunities as possible to meet the needs of each child in our program, encouraging the opportunity to grow and learn as everyday peacemakers.

Values

Our Core Values

ADVENTURES IN GENEROSITY

Generosity creates joyful hearts. Living generously with our kindness and resources opens our hearts to empathy and compassion for others. We intentionally create opportunities for children to act generously towards each other and their community.

ADVENTURES IN CREATIVITY

Curiosity drives creativity. Children are encouraged to think, act, learn and feel in creative ways. Sometimes the best way to color is outside the lines.

ADVENTURES IN INCLUSION

Diversity marks the design of our Universe. Understanding and including those who are different from us removes fear and opens our hearts and minds to the beauty of diverse families, communities and cultures.

ADVENTURES IN WISDOM

Literacy leads the way to effective learning and communicating. A commitment to excellence in early childhood education guides us in selecting, creating and adapting a play-based curriculum that prepares little ones for academic and relational success.

ADVENTURES IN FUN

Smiles fuel our adventures. We want to fill your child’s day with holistic developmental activities, ending with a powerful one-word answer to the question, “How was your day?” – “Fun!”

Programs

Our Programs

At Early Adventures, each child learns through play all day long. Their day is filled with engaging activities led by nurturing teachers. You get to be a part of your child’s day via our Procare app. You’ll get notifications of meals, diapers, pictures, naps, and messages throughout the day. You also get to be completely in charge of what your child eats by supplying their own food. At the EAC (Early Adventure Center), we aren’t just a preschool; we are a community filled with holiday parties, concerts, and other fun family events.

Pikas

6 wks - Mobility

Our young infant program follows your baby's lead. When they are hungry, they eat. When they are sleepy, they nap. When they want to play, we provide a variety of activities that help them learn about themselves and the world around them.

Chickadees

Mobile infants - 18 mo.

Our older infant program begins establishing a schedule and preparing the little ones for being in a toddler program. They use Funshine Express curriculum, go for walks, go to the playground, and go to the movement room.

Chipmunks

Walking/Off bottle - 2 yrs.

In the young toddler program, children continue the curriculum, walks, playing outside and in the movement room, but they do it at a bit of a faster and more scheduled pace. They experience a lot of sensory activities along with life readiness skills to help them as they grow.

Mountain Hares

Age 2

In Mountain Hares, the same pattern continues as the previous room, but with a slightly more academic focus. Your child will learn more independence; from learning how to spell their name, to potty training, to putting their own shoes/coats on, we work on it in this room.

Wolf Pack

2.5 - 4 yrs.

This class continues the Funshine curriculum while enhancing it with more play based academic learning activities, social/emotional activities, and fun sensory activities that keep children engaged and learning.

Teachers will work with the family and the child to help with potty training.

Universal Pre-K

Year prior to Kindergarten

UPK is a government funded program which strives to make sure that children are as prepared as they can be for Kindergarten. While working on academics, we do not lose focus on the fact that children learn best through play. The children get to take part in a wide variety of activities that fit every learning style and make learning fun.
