Infant to Preschool Care

Our Focus

Our Infant Room provides a warm and welcoming environment where your baby can grow from a bundle of joy into a bundle of curiosity. Caring, responsive teachers create a calm, soothing, and happy atmosphere that supports each child’s unique needs. Every infant is paired with a primary caregiver who builds a secure bond and fosters individual growth.

We focus on helping babies reach important developmental milestones such as grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, self-feeding, and eventually walking. Each child’s individual schedule is respected, with feedings provided on demand and diaper changes every two hours.

• Stimulating activities and age-appropriate toys

• 1:4 staff-to-child ratio to ensure individualized attention

Our Focus
The Preschool Room is designed to help children continue building independence while introducing more academic components. At this stage, children expand on the skills developed in the toddler rooms and engage in more group learning, strengthening social skills and cooperative play.

The classroom follows a consistent daily schedule that includes free play, large group, small group, art, sensory exploration, outdoor play, and gym time. A theme-based curriculum guides instruction, with a focus on early literacy and math concepts such as letter and number recognition, shapes, colors, patterns, sorting, and writing their names. Teachers nurture each child’s curiosity, encouraging exploration and supporting individual interests.

In the Preschool Room, Your Child Will Enjoy:

• Theme-based curriculum with science experiments, art, and hands-on projects
• A stimulating learning environment designed to spark curiosity
• Engaging group time that builds letter, number, and early academic skills
• Outdoor and gym play for physical development and coordination
• 1:10 staff-to-child ratio to support safe, balanced group learning

School Hours:
