Our infant care services provide a nurturing, individualized setting where babies receive the attention and care they need to thrive. Focusing on promoting early growth and development, our caregivers create a loving and safe environment that fosters secure attachments and encourages sensory exploration.
Each day, our staff implements activities, such as reading books, finger plays, songs, large and fine motor exercises, sign language, and toy handling, to help infants build the foundations for physical and cognitive development. At the end of the infant program, your child will be ready to perform various activities, including drinking from a sippy cup, sleeping on a cot, eating from a bowl with a spoon, responding to their name, and walking.
Toddlers are at a stage of rapid growth and exploration. Our toddler learning programs focus on fostering independence, social skills, language acquisition, and physical development through age-appropriate activities.
