Mornings with Gabriella is a three year or three step program in which children to discover, create and learn in a group setting. Gabriella believes that children learn best with gentle guidance through stories, crafts, imaginary play, songs, and much more.

About the Program
Our three year program features a play-based curriculum creating a warm, and nurturing atmosphere. At the Lollipop Club children learn through exploratory, self-directed play and through teacher guided activities. We also offer an opportunity for social development, which may include separating from a primary caregiver for the first time, learning to share, and to follow routines. Music, dance, and special visits are just a few of the many extras at the Lollipop Club. Puzzles, games, books, arts and crafts, block play, manipulative, sensory and dramatic play will be a part of your child's daily routine. Active and quiet, individual and group activities stimulate your child's cognitive, creative, language, motor, and socio-emotional development.

Age Groups
Jelly Beans - Ages 18 - 26 months
Lollipops - Ages 26 - 36 months
Gummy Bears - Ages 3 4 years
