Infants
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
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.

Infants
Babies develop at such an incredible pace, and it’s a joy to witness. They’re growing practically by the minute, whether we realize it or not. That’s why it’s essential to have your infant enrolled in an outstanding child care program, such as the Infant Program at Yellow Brick Road. Tummy time, as well as development of the senses and motor skills are all guided by our teachers in the most compassionate and encouraging way. Your child is just beginning to make sense of the world — we’re here to help them at their developmentally appropriate level. A daily routine is implemented to encourage your child’s working memory. Daily routines are also great because they help your child’s sense of prediction and expectation, as well as recognizing patterns. This provides stability and comfort to every child, and families also appreciate knowing what their young one is doing while at Yellow Brick Road. Our Infant Program not only provides exceptional care for your child, but it also gives you the peace of mind you’re looking for. Visit one of our child care centers to begin the enrollment process!
Explorers
The growth that happens during this stage is remarkable. Your child’s brain is developing rapidly, and each day brings new opportunities to explore, learn, and grow. This is why it’s important to choose more than basic child care. You want an environment that nurtures curiosity and supports healthy development. In our Explorers program, children begin building social-emotional skills through guided group interaction, learning how to engage with peers, build relationships, and work together. Intentional play is a core part of each day, blending creativity, movement, and learning in meaningful ways. Yellow Brick Road offers academic child care through the Creative Curriculum, providing research-driven activities that support early learning and development. With thoughtful guidance from teachers, children explore their world while building a strong foundation for future success.
