Infants 6 weeks-12 months
We provide one standard formula, baby food, wipes, and nutritional meals. Our infant teachers work with parents to create a daily eating and sleeping routine. The teachers also introduce foods and work on basic American sign language. In this class, we work on age-appropriate milestones through educational and age-appropriate toys, physical movement, and emotional development. Some of these are achieved through music, art, books, facial and verbal mimicking, as well as a lot of affection.
We practice safe sleep policies; a sleep sack is required for children under 12 months of age. The classroom includes areas for loud play, quiet play, block play, eating, and sleeping quarters. We safely store breast milk and other home foods. Any mother is welcome to come in and feed at any time of day.

Toddler 12-24 months
In this class, we focus on individual development and growth through active play and the introduction of new challenges daily. Each child grows and develops at their own pace, and in our class, we focus on each child’s strengths and weaknesses to help them grow into the strong, independent individuals they are. Communication can be challenging at this age, so we strive to help your little ones communicate using basic American Sign Language, as well as speaking softly and clearly, so that they can understand what is going on around them.
Some everyday activities that you will find your child participating in include reading stories about colors and shapes, building towers out of Legos or blocks, creating fun pictures with markers or pencils, and so much more! Everything that we offer your child is to help them grow and understand the world around them. It is an exciting adventure being one, and there is so much to learn and explore.

Early Learners 24 months to 36 months
Our early learners' classroom prepares these children for the big transition into the main house. The environment is a combination of toddler and early preschool structure. This room is divided into separate play areas, including a soft corner, dramatic play, fine motor, and block play.
During class time, we focus on helping each child use three- to five-word sentences, engage in conversations, utilize their art journal, create projects, and learn through hands-on play that incorporates music, free play, books, and a combination of indoor and outdoor activities.
Children are encouraged to play with their friends, rather than just playing alone.
Potty training is a crucial part of this class. Parent and teacher action plans are discussed, as well as consistent verbiage used at daycare and home. This class aims to develop your child's skill set and confidence as an independent individual.
Parent-teacher meetings will take place frequently to discuss updated milestones.
In this class, your child will acquire many new skills, some of which include:
Putting their shoes and socks on
Helping undress and dress themselves
Less signing and more word use
Using words during confrontation with friends
Playing simple pretend, like feeding baby dolls
Identifying colors
Identifying ABC's
Identifying shapes
Transitioning from scribbling to drawing lines and circles
