Our Infant/Toddler Department provides a nurturing and loving environment that allows your child to grow and develop at his or her individual pace. Our goal is to provide a rich and joyous experience for each child in developing self-help and language skills, as well as opportunities for him to explore the world around him.

We encourage your children in the cultivation of their language skills along with mastering his or her physical development. As an infant, your child will be cared for according to his or her individual needs and schedule. As your infants grow to be toddlers, we gradually introduce them to a shared schedule while keeping it flexible enough to meet any special needs your child may have.
