Infants are rapidly growing, learning, and changing. Between the cooing and cuddling, our teachers delight in your baby’s every advancement and provide endless opportunities for development and discovery. From rocking and thoughtful interaction to story time, nap time, talking, and singing, Village Early Learning Center teachers provide just what your baby needs in a safe, clean, healthy environment.

Toddlers

Toddlers are little busybodies. At The Village Early Learning Center, that’s okay. We balance individual attention with group activities, ensuring that your toddler is using all that energy in productive ways. From trying out the playground equipment to experimenting with art, we give toddlers plenty of opportunities to investigate, explore and play in a safe, secure, yet stimulating environment. Toddler teachers consider the unique emotional needs of each child while promoting good social skills and learning. In accordance with our nationally recognized accreditation (naeyc.org), new concepts are introduced when your child is ready; not on a set timeline.

Care and education for toddlers where every day is full of fun experiences and opportunities for learning through play.

Nido, which means “nest” in Italian, perfectly describes the nurturing setting for our youngest learners. At this stage, small children are seen as explorers and scientists. The multi-sensory navigations of their environment, the spontaneity of observing, the desire to experience life with and through their body and the pleasure of enjoying human development in a natural way are the focus of our curriculum. A successful early learning environment fosters a community marked by meaningful relationships among young children and the adults in their lives—parents, teachers, and caregivers. These connections flourish through shared learning experiences in nature and through emotional connections. The community cultivates and sustains developmentally appropriate conditions that enable children to optimize their individual potential. From this perspective, the cultivation of purposeful practices, presenting thoughtfully prepared environments that challenge children, emerges as the ideal blueprint for the development of positive school experiences for children and their families.
