The program also features a Discovery (Science) Studio for more individualized instruction and a Kindergarten transition program to help smooth the way into elementary school. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children in the program.

Infants and Toddlers

Infant rooms range from 6 weeks to one year in age. Toddler Rooms range from 12 months to 3 years in age.

The infant and toddler program encourages each child to move through the appropriate developmental levels providing:

• An environment where every child can learn through experience, trail and error, repetition, imitation and identification
• A broad array of stimulating experiences with a framework of routines and a stress-free atmosphere
• A structured learning environment where routine tasks such as eating, toileting and dressing are important opportunities to help children learn about their world
• Verbal interaction between adults and children recognizing that infant and toddler sounds are the beginning of communication
