Infant & Toddler Program

Our infant and toddler program is designed to meet the unique developmental needs of each child in our care. Our teachers strive to meet target goals in each of our five key focus areas:

  • Fine motor skills

  • Gross motor skills

  • Social and emotional development

  • Cognitive and linguistic development

  • Sensory and artistic exploration

We also implement sign language in day-to-day interactions in order to foster greater communication skills and some of our favorite activities, such as:

  • Painting

  • Singing songs

  • Reading books

  • Playing puppets together

  • ...and so much more!

Bolstered by our intentional and positive classroom environment, you will see the consideration and care we continuously take to provide a nurturing space for infants and toddlers:

  • Dramatic play equipment

  • Cooks, puppets, and games

  • Crawling areas

  • Padded climbers

  • Mirrors

Amongst our well-resourced classrooms, we encourage each child to track objects, imitate sounds, uncover hidden toys, reach out to grasp objects, balance, and stand.
