Our days are broken down into various activities that are developmentally appropriate for the children enrolled in our program. We ensure that lessons are differentiated to meet the children's individual needs & are tailored to instruct them where they are developmentally but also
scaffold them to reach further goals.
​
We also POTTY TRAIN! Through songs, literature, & discussion, we help your child transition from pull-ups to underwear by encouraging independence & self-help skills. We assist with the process & will work with you to help your child achieve this milestone!
​
Our activities vary based on lesson objectives and are either whole group, small group, or individual. We design our program around youth sports and teamwork, as both physical and social-emotional development are just as crucial as academics, particularly at this stage of a child's development. Physical activities promote a healthy lifestyle while teamwork fosters discipline, confidence, accountability & how to resolve conflict.
The children in our program learn how to experience succeed-or-fail situations in a safe, nurturing environment: with every failure comes a lesson, and with every success comes confidence. Our unqiue program will truly ignite whole-child growth & development and instill skills that will be carried for a lifetime.
​
We are a state licensed facility and follow all of PA state childcare regulations. See below for more information.

Meet Miss Alexa
Hey LVST families! My name is Alexa Sylvainus, and I am the Sports Director/Facility Manager here at the Turf. I grew up and currently reside in Nazareth. I attended Syracuse University, where I studied Inclusive Elementary and Special Education with a minor in Mathematics. Some of my favorite memories in college were cheering on Syracuse sports teams in the Carrier Dome, as well as living in New York City while student teaching in some of the most diverse and unique schools in the city.
From a young age, I knew that working with children was my passion. I have over 8 years of experience in early childhood education and having the opportunity to merge my passion for early childhood education and sports at LVST is a dream come true! I believe that every child learns best when they are invited into a positive, fun, and explorative environment that gives them the tools to unlock their full potential to learn. Not only am I committed to providing this environment at LVST, I’m also a firm believer in the power of sports and fitness to develop fundamental confidence and leadership skills from a young age. I’m excited to get to know each individual personality and supply them with the appropriate experiences and tools to grow—the sky’s the limit!
When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, or playing and watching sports. I am a huge Dallas Cowboys and New York Mets fan. I am also very big into fitness and spend much of my spare time weightlifting at the gym.
See ya at The Turf!
Meet Miss Michele
Hello Families at LVST! My name is Michele Walter and I am your Child Care Director here at LVST. I currently live in Bethlehem with my husband, Brad, two sons, Ryan and Austin, and our two German Shepherds, Cali and Mya. I have been working in the Early Childhood field since 2010, so, needless to say I enjoy working with children. I find working with children to be a rewarding career and love being able to find ways to help them grow to be successful individuals. I believe when you know and understand each child you can provide an environment that will meet their needs so they can become successful. I also believe that providing an environment that allows children to have fun, socialize with others, and support their interests in an active way is a great start to success for them, and I am excited to join the team at LVST to add that active component to their learning. These kids are our future and to be someone who can even have a small impact on them in some way is more than I can ever ask for. In 2014, I obtained my Associates Degree in Early Childhood then later my Director's Credential in 2019, both from Northampton Community College. I have years of experience as a classroom teacher from infants to school agers and experience managing and directing a team under me. I am excited to use what I have learned to create a fun and welcoming experience not only for your child, but for all the families. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, snowboarding, playing board games, spending time outside, teaching my kids how to play sports, and listening to country and Christian music.
I am so excited to meet you and get to know you and your children! See you all soon!
