At The Devine Schools, we offer several programs designed to encourage all children to discover, grow, and explore while laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Our primary focus is meeting each child’s individual needs and fostering their growth. Children are placed in a classroom that best meets their needs and encourages them to develop at their own pace. This establishes self-confidence and healthy growth, which results in a strong, positive self-image.
Discovery (6 weeks to 12 months)
We celebrate the uniqueness of every baby. To do so, we partner with you to understand your baby’s needs. We provided daily logs of feedings, changings, and updates to keep you informed on all the things—big and little—that are taking place every day for your precious little one.
Babies in the Discovery Classrooms will:

Investigators (12 months to 24 months)

Voyagers (5 years old to 12 years old)
The Voyagers Classroom is designed to meet the unique needs of school-aged children. Most activities are child-led, which means students focus on their interests and move easily between activities. The children in this classroom get a balance of flexibility and structure—they have the time and space for schoolwork and fun with games, activities, and outside time.
School-age children in the Voyagers Classroom will:
Voyagers (5 years old to 12 years old)
Voyagers Summer Camp is all about exploring the world around us and learning about people, places, and things that many of us have only seen on TV or in books.
Voyagers (campers) have the flexibility to select from a variety of exciting topics that will take them on incredible journeys to far-off destinations where they will learn about people such as Louis Armstrong, places like the Great Wall of China, and things such as the Eiffel Tower!
Art is an important component in a child’s development as it serves as a great tool for children to express their own feelings and ideas. The Devine School’s Art Enrichment program is designed to develop children’s self-expression, emotional skills, communication skills and creativity while having fun doing different art activities. Children will develop a sense of pride and self-confidence while having fun with the different art lesson.
Music is a universal language that speaks to all humans. Children are especially sensitive to music and are able to absorb it very quickly. Through its rhythm, beat, tones, accompanying words and use of different instruments, music catches the senses and reinforces learning. Our Music Enrichment classes allow children to travel through different countries, eras and cultures to learn about the music from all parts of the world. Through repeated exposure to lyrics, melodies and rhythms, students are able to enhance their long-term memorization abilities.
Healthy eating, regular exercise, rest and personal safety are all parts of a healthy lifestyle. The Devine School’s Physical Fitness Enrichment program is designed to cover all of these topics in a fun and entertaining way. The Physical Fitness Enrichment program follows the KID-FIT curriculum which is widely used by many early childhood programs throughout the country. The ultimate goal of the Physical Fitness Enrichment program is to introduce and emphasize the importance of good health and wellness habits. Through physical education children learn, in a fun way, how to take care of their bodies for a lifetime of good health.
