A Program for Each Step of Their Early Years
Children grow quickly in their early years, but they do not all grow in the same way or at the same pace. Our programs provide the care, routines, relationships, and developmentally appropriate experiences children need at each stage—from a baby’s first discoveries to a preschooler’s transition into kindergarten.

Seedlings Infant Program
6 weeks–12 months | Meadville only
A Gentle, Loving Beginning
Your baby’s earliest experiences are built through responsive relationships, familiar routines, and safe opportunities to explore. Our Seedlings educators provide attentive, nurturing care while learning your baby’s individual cues, preferences, schedule, and developing personality.
Throughout the day, babies are comforted, talked to, read to, encouraged to move, and introduced to age-appropriate sensory experiences. We work closely with families to create consistency between home and the center and use Brightwheel to help parents stay connected.
Children are supported with:
Responsive, relationship-based care
Individual feeding, rest, and care routines
Tummy time and early physical development
Language-rich interactions, songs, and stories
Safe sensory exploration and age-appropriate play
Ongoing communication with families

Big Discoveries for Busy Little Learners
One-year-olds are constantly on the move—testing new skills, building language, and learning what they can do independently. The Sprouts program gives toddlers a safe, encouraging space to explore while caring educators provide the structure and reassurance they still need.
Daily experiences support movement, communication, self-help skills, early friendships, and confidence. Through songs, stories, simple art, sensory play, outdoor time, and consistent routines, children begin building skills they will use for years to come.
Children are supported with:
Early language and communication
Walking, climbing, balance, and coordination
Simple choices and growing independence
Social interaction and parallel play
Music, movement, sensory play, and art
Predictable routines that build security
Blossoms Two-Year-Old Program
2–3 years | Meadville and Fairview
Growing Independence, Language, and Friendship
Two-year-olds have strong ideas, growing vocabularies, and an exciting desire to do things for themselves. In Blossoms, educators build on those strengths with playful learning, clear expectations, patient guidance, and many opportunities to practice new skills.
Children strengthen communication, learn how to take turns and be a kind friend, participate in group routines, and grow more independent in everyday tasks. When developmentally appropriate, our team also works in partnership with families to support toilet learning.
Children are supported with:
Expanded vocabulary and conversation
Sharing, turn-taking, and cooperative play
Emotional expression and early self-regulation
Toilet-learning readiness and partnership
Fine- and gross-motor development
Creative play, stories, music, and hands-on discovery

Confident, Curious, and Ready for Kindergarten
The Keystone Ready program helps preschoolers build a strong foundation for school without losing the joy, creativity, and movement that make early childhood special. Children learn through a thoughtful combination of guided experiences, purposeful play, group learning, projects, stories, conversation, and hands-on discovery.
Our educators support early literacy, math, language, problem-solving, self-help skills, cooperation, attention, and classroom confidence. Children practice recognizing letters, numbers, shapes, patterns, and other early concepts while also learning how to ask questions, follow routines, express ideas, complete tasks, and contribute to a group.
Children are supported with:
Letter knowledge, sounds, stories, and early writing
Counting, number concepts, shapes, patterns, and problem-solving
Listening, conversation, and expressing ideas
Independence with personal care and classroom routines
