Our Program

Infant Room

Age - Twelve weeks (by October 15th)

Our infant program is designed to foster children’s physical, sensory, social, emotional, and intellectual development in a safe, gentle and caring environment. Our teachers know that babies grow and learn best when they feel secure. Our maximum group size is eight infants with three teachers. Each child is assigned a primary caregiver that attends to the child’s individual needs and works in partnership with parents to ensure that their child is being provided the best possible care while at school. Infants develop trust and security when they know their teachers will be right there to help by supporting learning through growth and joy as well as helping when they are upset.

One Year Olds

Age 1 (by October 15th)

Our youngest toddler program slowly and gently introduces children moving from the individual nature of infancy, to the joys of being part of a group. This classroom has a maximum group size of ten children with three teachers. The curriculum is designed to support young toddlers as they learn to master both expressive and receptive language, to play cooperatively with peers, and practice making their way in a world where they long for independence yet still require support from a loving, affectionate and trusted adult. Each child is allowed the space, support and time to develop newly acquired skills at their own pace with support and guidance from their teachers.

Two Year Olds

Age 2 (by October 15)

Our Toddler program maintains a four-to-one ratio with a maximum group size of twelve, and is designed to provide an opportunity for toddlers to explore while addressing the specific needs, challenges, and delights of this age group. There is an emphasis on freedom of movement and gross/fine motor development as well as supporting child to child interactions. The children in this group are becoming more aware of each other and social play is becoming more complex. The daily curriculum offers toddlers opportunities to explore the environment according to their capabilities, interests and developmental needs.
