Infant Program

Warm and responsive care is crucial for your infant’s healthy development. The infant program is structured around providing for each child’s individual needs. Goals for your infant are developed weekly based on their developmental needs. The four areas of development addressed are social/emotional, intellectual/language, small, and large muscle development. The teacher completes an individual profile that is updated as needed that document’s each infant’s progress with meeting developmental milestones. We provide all children with love and individual attention while giving them the opportunities to interact with their peers. This will allow them to continue thriving and developing.

Toddlers

Toddlers are developing rapidly and dramatically in all areas. They are beginning to think through their actions, solve problems and develop their language skills. They thrive on new experiences, so we provide them with a safe, nurturing environment that allows each child to develop naturally, individually and happily. Daily progress notes give your information on care routines like napping, eating, and diapering.

Our toddler classrooms are designed in learning areas.

Manipulative - This is where materials such as puzzles, stacking rings, sorting buckets, and linking toys will give your toddler the tools to develop their fine motor skills.
