Infant Classroom

In the Infant program, our teachers provide your baby with all the cuddles and care they need, as well as opportunities to begin learning about the world around them. Our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, celebrates your baby’s natural curiosity within the classroom environment and models how to explore safely. Nurturing teachers narrate your baby’s experiences to build a strong foundation in 21st century skills for problem solving and building relationships.

Toddler Classroom

As toddlers are rapidly developing both physically and cognitively, the Toddler classroom is where their natural curiosity is fostered, and their language and communication skills are nurtured. A lifelong love of learning starts early, and we believe in providing brand-new learners with the tools they need to be successful. In the Toddler classroom, our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, comes to life as expert teachers harness children’s natural curiosity, guiding them to explore the world around them through hands-on learning, play and asking questions. Teachers support your child's social-emotional growth while helping them develop important physical skills. Your little one will build social awareness, form meaningful connections with others and have plenty of opportunities to strengthen essential skills like persistence and independence.

Our Toddler and Early Preschool programs, beginning at 12 months old, are a stepping stone for language immersion. Primary engagement takes place in English, with Spanish and Mandarin exposure depending upon the campus model.

Infants

The infant program follows the philosophy of Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE), emphasizing respect for infants' ability to initiate their own learning and safely explore with minimal constraints. The environment is physically safe, emotionally nurturing, and cognitively challenging, with staff using observation to support each infant's individual development.

Toddlers

The toddler room follows Montessori philosophy, with trained teachers guiding children through a carefully organized, hands-on curriculum spanning language, math, science, geography, art, and practical life skills. Materials are aesthetically designed with natural elements, encouraging children to learn sensorially and cognitively while developing independence and self-discipline.
