Our Teachers
Our Infant and Toddler program is similar, but more basic for their age level. In our Infant program, our education program consists of infants experimenting with different toys and using their senses. They are stimulated through experiencing stories, connecting with music, tasting food, learning eating and drinking skills, exploring in sand and water, and going outdoors. They also begin to learn and adjust to routines such as hellos and good-byes, and diapering. Later, they become familiar with the potty, eating and meal times, nap time, getting dressed and more!
In addition, we provide an educational curriculum called "Creative Curriculum" to our individual classrooms, starting from Infants and proceeding to School Age. We chose Creative Curriculum because it is a comprehensive curriculum that provides teaching strategies that will lead to a high-quality childcare program.
