Daycare & Early Learning Academy Marysville Ohio

INFANT CARE

Infant Nursery School: 6 weeks to 18 months

At Advantage Early Learning Academy, we help our infants and toddlers develop in ways that give them the comfort and confidence to grow and develop both cognitively and socially in a super fun and engaging way.

Your child’s exciting educational journey gets off to a strong start in the Advantage infant room. Studies have shown that the brain develops more in the first three years of life than at any other point in human development. For this reason, and countless others, each moment in Advantage’s infant child care program is intentionally planned-out to ensure your baby is making the most of this period of rapid cognitive, emotional, and physical growth.

We recognize creating a supportive partnership as you leave your baby in our child daycare program is a priority. Our infant programs are designed to make the transition between home and school smooth and enjoyable for the whole family. Individualized schedules, nurturing primary caregivers, and safe classrooms will ensure your infant’s days are fun and enriching.

Your child’s full development is our primary focus. So, our little ones are far from idle all day. They actively explore the world around them during their waking hours. We present them with books and age-appropriate toys to stimulate their minds, let them bask in the fresh air as they sway in baby swings or frolic on a cozy blanket laid on the grass. They can even partake in music enrichment alongside their teachers... after all, which baby doesn't adore shaking a maraca!

We have three infant rooms with one dedicated teacher to every five infants.

TODDLER CARE

Toddler Early Learning Program: 19 months to 2.9 years

Your toddler is going to change from a baby to a preschooler in a short amount of time. He/she is gaining and asserting independence- through milestones such as first steps, first words, drinking out of a cup, and potty-training. Advantage will be your partner in supporting this growth and bringing your child to their full human potential.

Our passionate and energetic creative learning teachers will provide your toddler with a consistent routine and schedule, filled with exploration and introduction to new experiences. Regardless of their developmental stage, each day will be filled with laughter, building self-sufficiency, books, and hands-on learning.

At Advantage Early Learning Academy Marysville, we have three Toddler rooms with a ratio of one teacher to every seven children.

Our Toddler Care Program Features:

• A perfect balance of nurturing, playtime, and learning each day
• Daily group activities that help boost your child's social skills
• Regular teacher-family communication, including daily updates to keep you informed
• Themed units that provide a variety of daily experiences

PRESCHOOL EDUCATION

Preschool Learning Program: 3 years to 4 years

As a preschooler, your child is capable of increasingly complex tasks, learning, and thinking. Our curriculum includes theme-based units that incorporate language, pre-reading, pre-writing, math, science, social studies, creative arts, motor skills, and social development in hands-on, developmentally appropriate activities.

Our specially designed, research-driven curriculum caters to the unique learning goals and development of 3 and 4-year-olds. Together with our Childcare Director, our passionate teachers create daily, tailor-made small-group "Center" activities, ensuring that even in mixed-age groupings, children can absorb crucial lessons at a pace suited to their individual growth. All activities adhere to the Developmentally Appropriate Practices of the Creative Teaching Strategies Curriculum, the Ohio Early Learning Developmental Standards, the National Reading Panel, and the National Early Literacy Panel's recommendations for early literacy – putting your child on the fast track to success!

We have four preschool education rooms with a lead teacher and an assistant. Our preschoolers participate in our inclusive weekly enrichment classes including Yoga, Music, and Dance.

Our Preschool Program Features:

• Hands-on experiences to boost math and science skills
