About Elizabeth's Daycare in Arlington, MA
Our blended approach to nurturing the whole child is rooted in play, with an emergent curriculum being used to gradually expose them to components and best practices from progressive curriculums. We foster self-directed play to give children the opportunity to hone their decision-making and planning skills. We co-construct the curriculum with the children, allowing their emergent ideas and interests to guide our topics of investigation. We recognize the importance of building a loving and supportive community in which a child can feel safe to live, grow, play, discover, develop, dream, and learn. We strive to be engaged and involved in the child's everyday learning to ensure they have a welcoming, loving, and rich environment in which to thrive.

INFANT
Our Infant Program offers a second home environment for 14 infants. The program includes two classrooms, each licensed for seven children daily. Attachment is one of the most important factors to consider for infants and is believed to influence relationships with others later in life. For this reason, we have three full-time professional staff members in each classroom so that the children in our care can form deep attachments and trust with a primary caregiver.
