The Infant - Toddler program is designed to provide a "family-like" environment to nurture the development of each child. There are three full-time teachers who provide primary care for the children.   Each teacher designs lessons specifically to promote the growth and development of each of the children in their primary group. Parent input and communication is encouraged and valued in planning for the specific needs of each child.

The classroom is set up with interest areas such as dramatic play, sensory, manipulative, creative, large motor, blocks, etc. There are many opportunities for children to learn and explore the world around them. Infants and young toddlers dictate their own schedules, while older toddlers begin to follow a group schedule to prepare for Preschool. Daily Activity Sheets are given to parents each day which include food intake, bathroom and sleeping patterns, as well as daily activities and notes.
