Childcare

Infants

In addition to holding and cuddling the infants, our teachers are always interacting with them to encourage their mental and physical development. Your child will develop the ability to grasp toys, vocalize sounds, recognize pictures of familiar objects and acquire a variety of other skills.

Teachers work with each child in a series of stimulating activities that incorporate the natural routines of feeding and play. The teacher reinforces the babies’ development without disrupting their daily schedule.

 

 

Toddlers

Toddlers have the opportunity to physically explore their world inside and outside of the classroom. They also begin more structured activities, such as learning centers and circle time. Your toddler will begin learning concepts of color and size, and will start to build their vocabulary.

We understand the challenges that toddlers face in a social learning setting, and have experience in helping them adjust to being part of a group and the classroom environment.
