Your Kid Deserves The Best!
When your child starts at I’m Just a Kid, we assess where they are developmentally (across all six areas of growth) so we know how to teach them. Then, once enrolled, they will be placed in a classroom with children who complement their skills.
Infant
At this age, we focus on nurturing in a clean, safe, and healthy environment. This infant-led approach includes encouraging milestones.
Terrificville
In the “terrific” twos, we emphasize building initiative and self-help skills, like potty training, eating independently, language development, and fostering personality.
Pre-School
In our Pre-K classrooms, we work on preparing for primary school expectations, building literacy, and guiding children in making appropriate choices and understanding their options.
Infant
In our Infant classrooms, designed for ages 0-11 months, creating a nurturing and safe space is key. We follow an infant-led approach, offering soft books and toys for little ones to explore. From crawling to grasping objects, gazing at caregivers, babbling, flashing those adorable smiles, and even learning to hold their own bottles, every milestone is celebrated. These classrooms are where the magic of early development unfolds in a relaxed and caring atmosphere

Terrificville
In our toddler classrooms, designed for the “terrific twos”, the focus is on fostering initiative and self-help skills. Through hands-on approaches like potty training and encouraging independent eating, we nurture language development and celebrate each child’s personality. Milestones include walking, running, mastering the pincer grasp, following two-part directions, and expanding language to 50 words and two to three-part sentences. Socially, they enjoy playing with others, while achieving potty training by age two marks a significant step towards independence. These classrooms are vibrant spaces where every milestone is a cause for celebration.

- Picking up small objects
- Following 2 part directions
- Speaking 50 words, 2-3 part sentences

Pre-School
In PreK “A” classrooms for 2-3-year-olds, the focus is on preparing for primary school expectations by guiding children in decision-making and independence. Milestones include mastering gross and fine motor skills, attending circle time, and reaching language milestones. Socially and emotionally, they engage in cooperative play and achieve self-help tasks independently. In PreK “B” for 3-4-year-olds, literacy skills take center stage, with a focus on recognizing letters, developing vocabulary, and engaging with print. Milestones encompass purposeful gross motor movements, writing skills, cognitive development, and advancing language abilities. Socially, they begin to understand empathy, while self-help skills progress with independent dressing and assisting others.
