Infants

6 w - 12 mo

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!

Wobblers

12 mo - 18 mo

It seems impossible to think that your scooting, walking, babbling, and talking toddler was once coming home with you from the hospital. These are critical years of development, and it’s crucial that your child receives the best possible care. Yellow Brick Road doesn’t only provide exceptional child care for families, we also build an academic foundation your child will carry throughout their life. Social-emotional growth is a strong focus as toddlers begin to understand play, relationships, and human connection. Through songs, literacy activities, and engaging lessons, children continue building these skills each day. While we follow a daily routine and schedule, we recognize that every child grows at their own pace and work to meet each child where they are in a gentle, nurturing way. Our Wobblers program implements the Creative Curriculum, offering research-driven activities rooted in language development and early learning. With constant supervision, guidance, and care from our teachers, children are supported as they begin to navigate their world and build a strong foundation for future academic success.

Children choose meaningful work that interests them, helping them develop confidence, independence, and a strong sense of capability. Parents appreciate our warm community, experienced guides, and commitment to authentic Montessori principles.
