Infants

     Loving care is given in a daily program to foster skills in language and motor development in the classroom, in the gym, and outside in the playyard.

Toddlers

     Emphasis is placed on the development of cognitive, social, emotional and motor skills, with potty training included so children are able to transition to preschool.

Preschool

     Our program is recognized for its excellence in kindergarten readiness skills and for fostering good self-esteem in social development. Getting along well with others provides a good foundation to make the most of educational opportunities.

Schoolagers

     Transportation is provided to and from the local schools. In the after-school program, computers are available for use, along with homework help, sports play outside in the spacious playgrounds, games and creative art. The summer camp program includes two field trips per week to many different sites in the area along with special art projects, sports including basketball and soccer, and water play outside on the playground.

Special Programs

     Various people are invited into the Center to present special programs, such as “The Turtle Lady,” educational magic shows concerning “Care and Share,” “I Love America,” “Just Say ‘No’ to Drugs,” Respect Is a Magic Word,” and "the Magic of Reading" and many others.

     Merry Moppet has an excellent track record for a fun experience, a caring and loving staff, and "top of the class" learning opportunities for your child.

     Our purpose in everything that we do at our Center is to help in the development of the body, mind and spirit of each child.

     In the development of the body with large muscle skills, we want all children to have fun being physically active on the spacious playgrounds and inside the gym so that they will have good hand-eye coordination, teamwork skills, and good sportsmanship. Physical competence in using children’s large muscle skills also promotes confidence and good self-esteem. The gymnastic classes and tap and ballet lessons are also fun!

     In the development of small muscle skills, we encourage children to use their muscles as they play with equipment such as Lego bricks and blocks, create art using many media with pencils, crayons, markers and paint, playing with creative building manipulatives, and through sensory play with sand, water and other materials.

     In the development of the mind, we encourage math skills through play as children count, measure, sort, categorize and compare. Children enjoy learning through scientific reasoning skills as they investigate the natural world. We also help develop the mind through literacy and language skills with stories, music, the “word wall,” and by expanding vocabulary with story or journal writing and participation in discussions. Spanish, sign language, and computer lessons also help with cognitive learning skills.

     In the development of the spirit, we help children, through the daily Bible story and music to know that they are people whom God loves, that they are special people in God’s world, and that Jesus is their friend.
