Infant Toddler

Our infant/toddler room is licensed for 8 children ages 6 weeks to 24 months. There are two wonderful teachers in the classroom that will provide your infant with loving, nurturing care. The room is full of bright vivid colors to capture your infant's attention and to help stimulate their brain development. There are a variety of toys offered for the infants and toddlers to explore through touch, sound, sight, and taste.

Each infant receives plenty of individual time and attention. We introduce our infants to language through the use of music in the classroom, teachers talking and interacting with them, and stories being read to them. We also introduce our infants to sign language as early as five months. We work with the infants on tummy time each day to help with their large motor development. Teachers work with, in partnership with parents, to maintain continuity between home and school.

Our toddlers are introduced to new activities to capture their attention including sensory experiences, blocks, pushing toys, puzzles, and music. Our toddlers will acquire many new skills such as drinking out of a sippy cup, feeding themselves, sleeping on a cot, and picking up their toys. Sign Language is continued for the toddlers to help reinforce language skills. Toddlers also have daily circle time to help them learn basic concepts such as counting, ABC's, shapes, animals, and colors. We encourage our toddlers to explore their world around them.

Parents are informed of their child's day through an individualized daily form and daily communication with their child's teacher.
