The Gardner School’s infant program provides a warm, nurturing environment where babies build trust, confidence, and early learning skills. Guided by The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, teachers foster exploration through responsive, individualized care. Nursery suites feature personalized touches like individual cribs and family photos, while small ratios, a shoe-free policy, and flexible feeding and diapering routines ensure a safe, clean, and tailored experience. We maintain strong parent communication through real-time updates, developmental assessments, and shared moments via our app. Teachers use American Sign Language to support early communication and incorporate Itsy Bitsy Yoga to promote sleep, digestion, and well-being. By honoring each infant’s unique schedule, we provide attentive care that supports growth, connection, and development from the start.

Toddlers

12 mo - 24 mo

The Gardner School’s toddler program nurtures independence, growth, and socialization in a supportive, engaging environment. Using The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, teachers encourage exploration through play and responsive interactions. As children transition from American Sign Language to early language, communication is supported through stories, songs, puzzles, and hands-on learning. Group activities build confidence, social skills, and emotional development. Families stay connected through real-time updates, photos, and app notifications. Monthly themes introduce colors, sensory exploration, cooperative play, and self-expression. Itsy Bitsy Yoga supports sleep, digestion, and well-being. By fostering curiosity and creativity, we build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Pine Village Preschool lives its mission through guided and unstructured play and exploration. Throughout each day, educators allow students to choose their own play, own responsibility in their problem solving, and control their own learning. Everything we do is based on the belief that each child is unique and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to what we do. The key element in helping a child develop to the fullest of their capabilities lies in discovering who they are. When we have knowledge of who the child is, what their personality is, then we have the tools we need to help that child grow each and every day. There is never a need to “change” who the child is, just simply a need to know who they really are, and how we can help them achieve their true potential.

At Kith Corner, our infant care program is thoughtfully designed for children from six weeks to walking (approximately 15 months). We tailor each day to accommodate your baby’s unique routine, ensuring a nurturing and supportive environment for their development. Our facilities provide essentials such as diapers, wipes, crib sheets, bibs, and burp cloths, while parents are asked to bring their own bottles, food, sleep sack, and three pairs of clothes. We also support both formula and breast milk, which must be properly labeled for your child’s safety. Our program emphasizes sensory, movement, and music-based learning to engage your baby’s natural curiosity. With individualized cribs, rest periods, and daily outdoor time (weather permitting), we ensure a well-rounded experience. Circle time is held twice a day to foster early social interaction, and all materials are sanitized daily for a clean environment. Parents stay connected with online daily reports, which include feeding times, diaper changes, and 2-3 photos or videos, providing peace of mind throughout the day.

Each day includes a one-hour uninterrupted work period, allowing children to explore and engage with learning materials focused on language and writing, sensory and movement, practical life skills, culture, and music. Potty training begins when your child shows interest, supporting their development at a comfortable pace. To ensure your toddler's comfort, parents are asked to provide a crib sheet, blanket, lovie (if needed), seven extra pairs of weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, a sun hat or cap, and any necessary outdoor gear. Daily reports are shared online, including feeding times, diaper changes, and 2-3 photos or videos, keeping you connected and informed throughout the day.
