Our Programs

Infants       Nursery/Toddlers   

Infants (Ages 6 weeks to 18 months)
Our Infant Program start as young as 6 weeks. We maintain low staff to child ratios and specialize in creating a loving and stimulating environment. Our care providers are trained in First Aid and CPR and have received specialized Early Childhood training for infants.

· Focus on your child’s care and well being during their first 18 months.
· Attention to “infant Brain development” – a critical learning stage in an infant’s life.
· The low children/staff ration allows your child the individual time he or she needs with our caregivers to develop physically, emotionally and intellectually.
· Introduce infants to Basic American Sign Language (ASL). Children as young as 7 months old can use ASL as an early communications tool – even before they can speak.
