Infant & Toddler Classrooms
Our classrooms are designed to motivate and challenge the children for their appropriate ages. We have a separate playground and equipment for the infants and toddlers.
- Infants (6 weeks—12 months) We have a large infant room with loving and caring teachers who will pamper your infants and help them adjust to the new world they are experiencing.
- Ones Our one year old classroom gives our newest toddlers the opportunity for more mobility and exploration. This classroom is full of activities to help the children develop their motor skills and interact socially with their classmates.
- Twos The two year old classroom is designed to start teaching the children to be more independent and learn concepts like picking up after themselves, singing songs, and learning colors, shapes, letters, and numbers. We also devote a lot of time to letting them enjoy the benefits of the playing outdoors.
- Transitional Threes This classroom is designed for those older 2 year olds who have mastered their colors, shapes, & alphabet, and counting to ten to transition with the younger three year olds. Our concentration is to help them learn potty training and continue to grow and learn.

Our Professional caregivers strive to form positive, reciprocal relationships with infants and toddlers --- relationships in which encouragement is the key. They cuddle, hold, play, and talk with children in a warm, unhurried, give-and-take manner. They establish a safe environment, where children's initiatives are regarded as purposeful rather than bothersome for adults. Our caregivers attempt to see things from the child's point of view, and encourage rather than thwart children's efforts and communications. They take cues from children rather than impose their own ideas, and assume a problem-solving approach to children's interpersonal conflicts rather than punish children or solve their problems for them.
Infants and toddlers are explorers. Their interactions with trusted adults at their home away from home provide the emotional fuel these very young children need to puzzle out the mysteries of the social and physical world.
The Infant-Toddler Curriculum is based on the principle that children learn best through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. During this active learning process, infants and toddlers are encouraged to discover the world around them by exploring and playing. Learning and development are anchored by long-term, trusting relationships with caregivers, who are close at hand to support the children as they play.
The setting of the room is arranged to promote active learning within a safe, comfortable and secure environment. Each center is divided into areas organized around specific kinds of play and care, such as toy area, book area, movement area, and spaces for diapering, meals, and naps.
