Programs
Infants
Caring for an infant is probably one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs that a caregiver will undertake. Babies are born entirely helpless and depend on their parents and caregivers to meet their needs. At RCCA our caregivers are here to provide the best situation and environment for an infant's overall development. Our caregivers provide a nurturing, supportive environment where the infants thrive socially, emotionally, and physically.Toddlers
They are at the run, run, run age and they don't want to slow down. Their little minds are also running and gathering as much information as it can. It's during this time we try to provide our toddlers with stimulation play inside the classroom and outside on the playground. We introduce colors, patterns, words, sippy cups, songs, sharing, and much, much more in our toddler town. Walking is just the tip of the Toddler Town iceberg.2K
2K is our intro into the kinderworld! In our 2K class our students potty-train and focus on learning with colors, letters, and numbers. Fine motor skills are observed to help them properly develop great writing skills. Social skills and self help skills are introduced as well. We are eager and excited about watching and sharing the discoveries they make in 2K!3K
This classroom is for those who have mastered the potty-training class and is ready for more independence. Teachers in this room provide a fun and safe environment where children learn through play. They continue developing self-help, social, and fine motor skills and are introduced to classroom rules and responsibilities such as cleaning their stations and putting away their personal items. Speech is progressed through daily reading and story telling. 3K provides students with the skills they will need when they transition into our 4Kprogram.4K
Most of the children in our 4K program will begin school the following year. It is the goal of the staff in this class to make sure each student is ready for kindergarten. We spend a great deal of time on the educational aspects of kindergarten. Routine structure, listening and following multi step instructions, kindness, respect, and the enjoyment of school are all focal points of this class. Completing classwork and time management are also introduced. Following completion of this class and entry into a K5 program grants them a graduation. It is one of our biggest celebrations of the year!After School
This program is designed for students who currently attend elementary or middle school. We provide transportation to and from several local schools. Academics are important to us, therefore we provide homework assistance as part of our program.
