Our Infant Program

An exceptional place for your baby to thrive

Our space is built for babies on the move: look for bright mirrors, warm rugs, sensory tables, great books, and baskets filled with soft, natural materials. There are musical instruments, toys for pretend play, safe equipment, and outdoor places to explore. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that our stringent safety, security, and cleanliness standards meet or exceed all state and local guidelines.

Even these youngest of children are encouraged to learn about their world through our individualized curriculum that invites exploration, celebrates each important milestone, and supports the transition from the sensory motor world of infancy to the increasingly social and self-directed world of toddlers.

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are also our closest friends.

"The infant teachers have been wonderful with my son. You can really tell that they care about each baby in the room, and go above and beyond their job We very much appreciate all of the care and nurturing that you have given to our child The days that she spends with you all have been vital to her growing independence and sense of self, and we can't thank you enough. It is very comforting to know that she is in such great hands! "

Learning at Home

Taped Voices

You Will Need:

Cassette recorder, Tape, Book or song or poem

Directions:

Tape your voice singing, reading a book or poem, or talking to your baby. Play this tape when your baby is going to sleep, commuting in the car or at times when you can’t be wit her.

Tip:

Sing or read often to your baby while you are holding her so she will relate the sound of your voice with the warmth of your arms. Poems or books with a lot of repetition or rhyming words are best. Use a high pitched voice or “parentese” with very young babies but try to phase out baby talk after about 6 months of age. Frequently say the baby’s name on the tape. This tape will help baby feel at ease when she is not with you.
