Our Programs
At Christie’s Carousel of Learning our Twos Program introduces your child to a world of discovery in a safe, nurturing environment. With gentle guidance from teachers experienced in toddler development, two-year-olds explore through play, songs, art and language activities that foster confidence and curiosity.
As children transition into our Threes Program, the pace grows with more structured learning experiences balanced with plenty of play. Three-year-olds begin participating in circle time, story-based learning, simple math and literacy concepts, and cooperative group activities.
In the Fours/Pre-K Program at Christie’s, children are immersed in a curriculum designed to prepare them for kindergarten readiness—things like letters, sounds, numbers, problem-solving and social-emotional learning take the lead.
Outside the school year, our Summer Camp keeps the fun going with themed weeks, outdoor play, creative arts and engaging special events that build on classroom foundations. Whether in the regular program or during summer, we make sure your child is growing, smiling and ready for what’s next.
Our Philosophy
Christie’s Carousel of Learning was established in 1981 based on the concept of family love. Our curriculum values play as the most appropriate tool for learning and development. We also provide opportunities for structured and spontaneous activities in all our childcare programs.
We believe social interaction and our intellectually stimulating environment establishes the necessary developmental format for each child, which prepares them for the structure of the elementary educational system.
Our environment encourages the development of positive self-esteem. The creators of our school have raised nine children of their own and understand the importance of all children developing their own unique personalities as well as developing at their own pace.

“Everyone at Christie's really cares for the kids. The teachers go out of their way to make the kids feel at home (away from home). The crafts and learning activities are amazing. They are doing something different everyday. They are learning but having a lot of fun at the same time.”

“At Kindergarten parent-teacher conference, and we received glowing feedback.
His teacher asked, "He went to Christie's, right?" When we confirmed, she said it was very clear that the students who attended Christie's are exceptionally well-prepared for kindergarten. She mentioned that they come in already knowing their letters, letter sounds, numbers, and so much more.
You all have done an amazing job preparing these kids, and it's clear the foundation you've built gives them a significant confidence boost as they start school. This was especially true for us and I'm sure it's the same for other Christie's graduates as well.”
