| INFANT & TODDLER DEPARTMENT |
Our program is designed to meet the developmental
needs of young children. We provide experiences that
challenge and support each child's cognitive, language,
social, emotional, physical and creative development.
During the course of the day each child has opportunities
to create, explore the environment, develop personal
interaction skills, and learn problem solving skills through first
hand experience. We encourage exploration and involvement.

Program Activities:
Special attention is given to each infant in order to establish
healthy bonding and to ensure effective child care. Detailed
records of developmental progress are kept to document
attainment of milestones and to involve parents in the
cognitive and physical development of infants.
Toddler activities focus on nurturing children' sensory-motor development,
potty training via positive reinforcement means, and socialization skills.
