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.

"You are simply the best teachers a little baby could ask for! With your warm smiles and loving personalities, you make a tough job look easy. We feel so thankful that our child spends her days in such a wonderful place, with such wonderful teachers."

Matching Spices

You Will Need:

Select an assortment of spices, (cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, coffee, ginger, coriander, cumin, oregano, etc.).

Directions:

Set the spices out on a table. With your child, name, smell and explore the scents. Pour small amounts on different napkins or in lids of jars and have your child match up the spice to the jar by smell, color, texture, etc.
