Infant Program
Our infant curriculum is highly individualized. The teachers take great care in meeting all the basic needs of the infants.Some of these include feeding, diapering and napping per child’s needs. The care continues throughout the day making time for one on one attention which is enhanced with storytelling, music, songs, floor play, tummy time and much more.
Our infant rates do include diapers and wipes. Parents provide any food that they would like their children to have during the day. We provide two snacks (such as cheerios, fruit, graham crackers, etc.), as well as water and milk, twice daily for older infants who are eating finger foods.

Toddler Program
Toddlers learn through enjoyable hands on experiences. Our toddler curriculum strongly supports this belief. Children are exposed to several choices throughout the day. They are able to play independently, as well as begin to form friendships playing alongside one another. Teachers plan their curriculum around weekly themes.
Each classroom is set up with several learning areas such as an art center, a book area, table toys, and sensory tables. The children are given "free play" time to explore these areas.
