In this technologically advanced age, it is never too early to introduce computers. Each child over the age of 2 years old will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the computers in their classrooms. They will begin with learning basic computer knowledge, including mouse and keyboard skills. Based on each individual child’s skill level, age appropriate educational games will also be provided for each child on a daily basis.

Children 2 years of age and up have the opportunity to enroll in a ten week dance session. The half hour weekly class consists of ballet, rhythmic play, creative movement and tap. Please check with the campus director for registration forms and session costs.

Children Pre-School and up are eligible to train with in a Karate program as a part of their weekly after-school curriculum.The program is a comprehensive character-enrichment program, which seeks to use karate as a tool to convey lessons, such as self-confidence, focus, self-discipline, respect, goal setting, and self-control, all while being introduced to the traditional martial arts of Kenpo and Tae Kwon Do.The cost to participate varies according to the length of the session.

Throughout the year, the children will have scheduled field trips to local museums, theaters, and attractions. Sufficient notice will be given before a field trip to allow parents to participate in these activities.

Our Kindergarten children are introduced to the enjoyment and responsibility of the library. The children receive their own library card and travel to the local library at least once a month. During their visit to the library, the children enjoy a story hour and are taught about the many parts of the library.The children are able to choose and check out their own books and are responsible to care for and return the book at their next visit.

This unique opportunity allows our children to share part of their day with seniors from the Cathedral Village Retirement Home. Our children participate in art, gardening and seasonal celebrations. The typical senior adult enjoys the interaction with our children while the typical pre-school age child gains a respect and comfort from this special bond.

At Les Petits Cherubs our preschool age children share part of their day with other preschool age children who face developmental and physical challenges. The benefit for all children involved is unique and not found in many settings. A typical preschool child will gain increased self-esteem and be more accepting of diversity, from the interactions that come naturally when helping other children who have developmental and/or physical challenges.
Many studies show a marked improvement in interdisciplinary behaviors when children with developmental and/or physical challenges are combined with typical preschool age children. Behaviors improve, self-confidence grows and an IEP is well in place and prepares them for the transition into a public or private school setting. They are well on their way to being mainstreamed through this unique paring of the children found her at Les Petits Cherubs.

Les Petits Cherubs currently participates in Inclusion Programs with Elwyn SEEDS (Special Education for Early Developmental Success) and Clarke School for Hearing and Speech.
