Infants
1 Month to 15 months
Our infant rooms are centered around individualized attention and nurturing through low staff to infant ratios.
Your infant’s sleeping and eating patterns will be observed to honor your family’s routine and our knowledgeable teachers are in daily communication to ensure your babies needs and development are met. As your baby grows and their schedule changes, we work together to ensure that the consistency between home and school remains strong.
While at the center, our teachers will do more than meet your infant’s needs, they are also educated to enrich their learning and development through various activities. The daily planned curriculum includes plans for each child based upon their individual growth. Our child centered age-appropriate activities cover areas of learning aimed at developing social emotional, language, sensory, large motor, and fine motor skills.
