• The Infant/Toddler classroom includes children between the ages of six weeks and two years. Individual plans are devised for each child in cooperation with the child’s parent. A full-time lead teacher and teacher’s aide provide consistency of care through the first two years of life.
• The Preschool I classroom is comprised of older toddlers (24 months-three years). Building social skills, self-help skills, and toilet-training are just a few of the goals the curriculum addresses.
• The Preschool II classroom includes children from three (and potty-trained) to five years old. The curriculum addresses continuing socialization and self-help skills, with added emphasis on preschool readiness skills.

Classrooms are organized around the Creative Curriculum concept. Individual, large, and small group activities are planned within each day’s schedule. Activities follow sound early childhood principles and meet the development needs of differing children. All children are encouraged to make choices and become responsible for themselves.

The Children's Center is open year-round from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. The center will be closed on official state holidays observed by USC Aiken and select staff development days.
