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."

Messy Art Play

You Will Need:

Water, cooking oil, food dye set, paintbrush (bigger is better), sturdy paper plates, paper (solid color)

Directions:

Experiment by mixing colors and adding oil to see what happens. Then add one drop of food color onto the paper plate and have him brush the paper with the mixed oil/water base. The color of the drop should move gently around the paper with the oil/water mix gliding over the paper.

Tip:

Cover the surface because the table can become messy and slippery with the oil.
