Center Programs

Infant (6 Weeks - 18 Months)

Our infant program provides a warm, nurturing environment where caregivers form close bonds with babies, ensuring a secure and trusting relationship. Each infant follows their own schedule, with individualized care routines for feeding, sleeping, and play. Our educators support early development through sensory exploration, attachment-based play, and language-rich interactions, including the introduction of basic American Sign Language (ASL).

Key Focus Areas:

Building secure attachments with primary caregivers
Encouraging free exploration and movement
Facilitating play that supports sensory and cognitive development
Respecting each infant’s natural rhythms and routines

Toddler (18 Months - 3 Years)

Toddlers are naturally curious, energetic, and eager to explore. Our toddler program fosters independence while encouraging language development and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and structured routines, toddlers gain foundational skills for future learning.

Key Focus Areas:

Supporting independence (self-feeding, dressing, potty training)
Expanding language and communication through ASL and verbal expression
Encouraging social-emotional growth through cooperative play
Sensory experiences, music, and movement to enhance cognitive development

Preschool (3-4 Years)

Preschoolers are eager learners, exploring their world with curiosity and excitement.
