Our Childcare Classrooms

Nursery and Infants (6 weeks – 21 months)

The infant environment is designed to meet each infant’s individual needs. Children under the age of one are free to sleep when they are tired and are fed when they are hungry. Around age one, the infant teacher begins to work with the parents to get the child on a regular eating schedule and ensure one nap per day to prepare the child for the Toddler classroom. They grow up too fast!

We believe that here, they are also able to develop long lasting relationships through music, movement, art, and much more. During this critical period, we assure that all care-givers are constantly working with the parents hand in hand to help the child feel as comfortable as possible. Each parent has access to a daily written report about their little one’s day as well as encouragement to help support the growth taking place.

Toddler’s and Young 3’s (21 months – 3 years)

They begin to learn how to manage their time and gain a sense of personal responsibility for everything that they set their minds to.
