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.

"Thank you for all of the TLC that you all give my baby girl Sanaya. We can definitely see the difference in her growth through her time there with you all. It's comforting to know that she's in good hands when we drop her off. She always has a smile on her face when we pick her up!"

Our Curriculum Components

The building blocks to balanced education.

  • Language Works Listening to stories or classical music, one-on-one spoken interaction with caregiver.
  • Math Counts Counting through books, poetry, and songs.
  • Science Rocks Bubble blowing, interacting with nature through walks and outdoor exploration.
  • ArtSmart Finger (or feet) painting, experiences with textiles.
  • Our World Rich connections — via smiles and hugs — with the center community.
  • Well Aware Soft safe places that encourage rolling over, pulling up, crawling, and safely exploring.

Learning at Home

Fractions

You Will Need:

Ingenuity

Directions:

Notice and discuss the fractions in your child's world! When eating pizza or a pie, count the pieces of an eight piece pie, 1/8, 2/8, etc. Help your child cut their sandwich in half, fourths, thirds. Discuss with your child what part of the family they are: if you are one of six members of a family, you are 1/6th of the family. Let your child divide the dessert among your family members, i.e. if we have 5 brownies and four people, each person gets 1 and 1/4 of a brownie. Include your child in baking that asks for measurements that require fractions. Some books to read: "The Door Bell Rang" by Pat Hutchinson, "Eating Fractions" by Bruce McMillan, and the "Half Birthday Party" by Charlette Pomeranz.

Tip:

If your child does not show an interest in fractions, wait until another time.
