Baby Nido (Infants)
Your baby’s brain and body are growing quickly at this developmental stage, and our nurturing, homelike environment is designed to support their changing needs. Through rich, purposeful experiences, your baby will: discover the joy of sounds and rhythms through language and songs, engage in exchanges and conversations (using coos and sounds), through games, books, and interactions with caring adults, share feelings and needs through facial expressions and sounds, explore their curious nature, using their senses to examine the objects, people, and places in their world (placing objects in a container; moving from place to place by crawling or walking; or simply playing peek-a-boo), and experience a variety of materials that engages all senses: clay, paint, light, fabrics. Our Baby Nido program is offered from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Pick up and drop off times are flexible.
Nido (Toddlers)
As your toddler gains confidence through meaningful classroom interactions and a strong parent-educator partnership, they will learn to navigate first relationships and begin to find their place in the world through words and actions. Your child will: engage in story time, interact with environmental print and explore books, begin making behavioral choices, such as washing their hands before lunch, begin to recognize attributes of people and objects, play with puzzles, use spatial awareness and identifies multiple ways to solutions, explore graphic tools (markers, crayons, chalk) and leave marks on large papers, and mimic real world experiences such rocking a baby, cooking, answering the phone. We offer part-time and full-time options in our Nido program. Early Care is offered for Preschool students (Nidos to Pre-K4) to start their day at 8:00 am. Children have an opportunity to arrive 45 minutes earlier and engage in free play in their classroom under the supervision of their teachers. Siblings of Elementary students can enjoy this program at no cost once registered.

2 Year Olds
We offer opportunities for children to encounter challenges that promote individual identity and collaborative play. In addition to emotional growth, the physical growth of fine motor skills provides two-year-olds with greater manipulative control and an increased desire for independence. As your two-year-old discovers all the things they can do, they will want to communicate with others and to do more things on their own. Our educators understand this and use various sensorial, fine motor, and gross motor experiences to encourage your child’s literacy and comprehension skills and desire for independence. These experiences also allow your child to interact with peers, become more social and begin to develop emotional control.
