Infants/Toddlers

Our Infant and Toddler program caters to children from 6 weeks old through 18 months.

We realize that emotional development is critical for children during the early months of their lives. The staff in our infant room focus on developing a child's sense of self and self-esteem by holding, talking to, and cuddling with the children throughout the day. We strive to develop language skills through songs, nursery rhymes, and music. We also encourage thinking and problem solving by letting the children explore their environment and play with toys that give a response, allowing them to learn about cause and effect.

The toddler program includes monthly themes that are designed to help them learn to regulate and express emotions, learn language skills through songs, rhymes, and stories, and develop more complex thinking and problem solving skills. We provide the opportunity to allow the children to explore themselves and their peers in a safe environment and promote social skills.
