William is just so happy to go to school each day, and that gives me a little glimpse into the joyful way he spends each day at the shoe.
Part time and full time enrollment available
We specialize in the care and nurturing of these very young children. This is a special time for infants and their families. During this time your child is likely to take their first steps, say their first words and begin to form relationships with other children that may last through preschool and beyond.
Our Caregivers
Our experienced caregivers are carefully trained to help your baby feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. They understand the importance of talking to the children, making eye contact, singing silly songs, cuddling, and gently guiding them as they explore their environment. Your child will have a primary caregiver who performs the majority of the one-on-one caregiving routines (feeding, changing, comforting, etc) and with whom your child will form a bond of intimacy. Studies on early brain development stress the importance of a single, consistent caregiver for the majority of the day. Your child’s primary caregiver provides a written daily report detailing your child’s day.
Infant Environments
Our infant care environments are safe and inviting. Edges are rounded and softened for safety. Our play spaces rich in shapes and colors and toys which encourage exploration, active, interactive, and quiet play.
Daily Routines and Activities
Daily routines are developed to meet the needs of your infant and include individual feeding schedules, nap times, hand washing, and diaper changes. Daily activities include story time, music activities, outside time, and lots of opportunities to work on fine and gross motor skills. We have special teachers scheduled to visit the classrooms to present activities and experiences in music, and foreign language exposure.
We provide cribs, sheets and bibs.
