INFANTS (6 weeks through 18 months)

We believe in providing a quality curriculum for children of all ages.  Even in the infant room, teachers plan activities in order to foster your child’s development.  Our curriculum is relationship based; we want your child to feel safe and secure.  We do this by attending to their needs as quickly as possible, following their personal schedule, and by providing activities which stimulate learning in the different areas of development.
