Infant & Toddler Education

Engaging and Caring for Our Littlest Ones

We know you’ll love the world we’ve created especially for your infant or toddler.

A nurturing, welcoming and consistent environment is key in our full-day infant and toddler classrooms. Your child will interact with the same caregivers every day. Because caregiver/child bonds are so important to your child’s development and wellbeing, your child’s caregiver will focus on building a strong relationship with your child during routine care. And we’ve drawn from the experts and designed our classrooms according to NAEYC best practices.

We’re always happy to share the details of your child’s day, listen to news from home, and keep you involved in your child’s experience.

We also offer full- and part-day preschool for your older children.
