Infant & Toddler Programs

Communication is Key

Our trained and professional infant teacher keeps detailed records of your child’s daily events (sleeping, eating, activities, diaper changing, etc.) and these records are passed on to you in real-time on our Brightwheel App.  Access to your child’s teachers and billing info are available at your fingertips all day every day! We encourage parental involvement, as you are the expert when it comes to your child. Feel free to stay and play for a bit or call to check in as you see fit.

Our Infant Care Program

Our infant program sets its pace around the needs and unique differences of each child. Our Infant and Toddler Teacher Tasha has 10 years of experience and is a graduate of U of I. She has a BA in Elementary Ed.  We work and monitor each child’s abilities to encourage social, mental, physical, and emotional development. We do this through letting your baby experience sounds, tastes, textures, patterns, tummy times, games, and many other activities. Each infant receives individual attention while their own sleeping and feeding schedules are maintained to ease the transition from home and daycare.

What To Expect From Our Infant Program

Build Positive Relationships

Infants and toddlers show that they are developing secure and close, caring relationships with their teachers in many ways. When our teachers meet the child's needs for protection, affection, and emotional connections, they create a thriving relationship that affects how the child feels and thinks about himself and others and the way he learns.

Individualized Attention

Each individual child changes over time, so it is important to respond to them appropriately and by adjusting the environment to each of their unique preferences, hobbies and needs.

Support Their Development

Safe freedom of movement supports a child's growth by promoting thinking skills and allows them to be independent.  

Safety & Promote Health

Our infant room is designed to ensure your young one's health and safety. A safe space will ensure that our infants can explore and learn freely and experience new senses.  

Our Toddler Program

This is a very high-energy class, with new walkers and potty trainers. It is always busy, but a lot of fun! Our toddler teacher is always on the go, but never too busy to stop and enjoy a new discovery with your child. Our Infant and Toddler Teacher Tasha has 10 years of experience and is a graduate of U of I. She has a BA in Elementary Ed. Children in this class are introduced to many new and exciting things such as play-dough, painting, circle times, group activities, and one of the most exciting, the potty chair!
