Infant/Yearling Program
6 weeks - 12 months / 12 months - 18 months The Island believes that quality and individualized care is essential for our Infant/Yearling Program. Our staff provides a safe and healthy environment and are warm, loving, and responsive to the needs of children. The overall growth and development of infants and yearlings changes so rapidly that our staff is alert to typical developmental stages. This awareness enables our team to provide appropriate activities and play materials to promote growth in language, social, motor, and active exploration, and overall cognitive development. We encourage self-exploration through crawling, climbing, tumbling, and laughter.
