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.

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.

For example, as our Infant teachers talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime, your little one is beginning to understand language and conversation. Nurturing interactions like these will fill your child’s day and can be adapted and personalized to meet their individual needs.

Baby Steps

The path to a lifetime of learning begins in our Baby Steps program. A baby's first year is full of growth and development, and we provide your baby with love and support as they reach those first milestones. Smiles, coos, and babbles are the beginnings of language development and are shared often between your baby and their caregiver as they sing, read, play, and share quiet moments throughout the day. This personal, nurturing process fosters a trusting relationship between the child and caregiver where the infant's developmental needs set the schedule.

Preschool Explorers

The Preschool Explorers program for two-year-old children provides an introduction to the preschool environment. Learning is guided by the emerging interests of your child and is built on their natural desire to discover and celebrate their budding independence.
