Infants
Families love the balance of nurturing care and milestone development in this program. In a warm, safe, stimulating classroom, children have a primary caregiver to attend to their needs. Plus, our exclusive, milestone-focused curriculum, Learn from the Start™, was developed by our educational experts to focus on key developmental milestones specific to infants. We emphasize each child’s development, rather than specific age, because all children grow and learn at their own pace, and in their own unique way. We’re also here when you need us. Ask your school about flexible enrollment options to fit your family’s schedule.

Infants
Reggio Emilia style education promotes the relationships between child and caregiver allowing for the best possible emotional growth. By engaging infants and toddlers in a rich sensory environment and allowing them to safely explore the world around them, we help them understand the world. We strive to provide the children with a home-like environment with softer lighting and soft seating areas. The use of found and repurposed materials helps us create an interesting landscape full of shadows, reflections, textures, and stimulating activities. Our amazing teachers cuddle, sing, dance, and read to the children. Soft music is played throughout the day. They create experiences to help infants process what they see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. Prices are subject to change.
Toddlers
At its core, the Reggio Emilia philosophy believes that children are competent, responsible, decision-making people that deserve to be treated with respect. With toddlers, this means the teacher works with the parent to meet the children individually at the child’s developmental level and the teacher is highly responsive to the interests of the child. The interests of young children are a sign of the brain development and physical development a child is undergoing. The teacher creates learning experiences to foster growth and development at the level of each toddler. Toddlers are natural scientists. They spend their days exploring, experimenting, reacting, forming opinions, and creating new experiments–all in an effort to learn about the world around them. This brain-building work is crucial to the development of toddlers. Our colorful, safe classrooms encourage both learning and social/emotional growth through discovery, sharing, and independence. Our toddler program begins to introduce new language concepts and skills through story time, games and make-believe. Physical skills are developing through push and pull toys, stacking, block play, creative movement, and the use of musical instruments. Toddlers begin to discover shapes and colors, and expand their sense through hands-on arts and crafts activities. Prices are subject to change.
