Baby Nido (Infants)

Smiles, cries, coos, and babbles flood the classroom with expression—a classroom intentionally designed to offer a homelike environment that will nurture and soothe. Our educators inspire and motivate these quickly developing minds and bodies, observing and recording their growing interests recognized in their gazes and discoveries. At KLA Schools, our educators understand the importance of creating a trust-filled relationship with your baby. By quickly and reassuringly responding to your baby’s needs, our Baby Nido teachers support their growing sense of confidence and well-being. Making eye contact, talking in a calm and quiet voice, singing, and cuddling ensure that your baby is content and ready to take on the next stage in their development.

Nido (Toddlers)

Our Nido program ensures that toddlers develop their expressive language skills, experience empathy, engage in pretend-play, and practice social roles as they navigate their first relationships and begin to create their own identities. Educators in our Nido classrooms work to build strong bonds not only between children and teachers, but between teachers and parents as well. This partnership with your child’s teacher, along with excellent communication about your toddler’s development, results in a confident, secure toddler with the confidence they need to express themselves and grow their vocabulary.

Infant Classroom

In the Infant program, our teachers provide your baby with all the cuddles and care they need, as well as opportunities to begin learning about the world around them. Our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, celebrates your baby’s natural curiosity within the classroom environment and models how to explore safely. Nurturing teachers narrate your baby’s experiences to build a strong foundation in 21st century skills for problem solving and building relationships.

Toddler Classroom

As toddlers are rapidly developing both physically and cognitively, the Toddler classroom is where their natural curiosity is fostered, and their language and communication skills are nurtured. A lifelong love of learning starts early, and we believe in providing brand-new learners with the tools they need to be successful. In the Toddler classroom, our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, comes to life as expert teachers harness children’s natural curiosity, guiding them to explore the world around them through hands-on learning, play and asking questions. Teachers support your child's social-emotional growth while helping them develop important physical skills. Your little one will build social awareness, form meaningful connections with others and have plenty of opportunities to strengthen essential skills like persistence and independence.

Infants

In our Infant program, our teachers are always interacting with the children to encourage their mental and physical development, in addition to holding and cuddling them. Your child will be introduced to our baby sign language program, learn to grasp toys, vocalize sounds, recognize pictures of familiar objects, and acquire a variety of other skills. Teachers work with each child in a series of stimulating activities that incorporate the natural routines of feeding and play. The teacher reinforces the infants’ development without disrupting their daily schedule.

Beginners

The Beginner program, for children ages 2-3, introduces more routine and structure to the children’s activities and schedule. Your child will build vocabulary, learn foundational mathematical skills, and will be encouraged to use simple reasoning to explain everyday occurrences. The concepts of social studies, diversity, and Spanish are introduced as our Beginners examine and explore the world around them.

Infant Program

At this age, your infant is mainly learning through observation and exploration. For example, as our Infant teachers talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime, your little one is beginning to understand language and conversation. Nurturing interactions like these will fill your child’s day and can be adapted and personalized to meet their individual needs.

Toddler Program

In our Toddler program, you’ll find carefully selected equipment that our newest walkers love to climb on, crawl through and hide in while stretching their gross motor skills. Teachers also use books, toys, games and other materials to create exciting explorations into colors, shapes, science and more.
