Infants, Toddlers, and Twos
As a parent, you set an important foundation for your child's growth and development. Your choice of child care has a major impact on how your child builds on that foundation. We ensure an active environment where children feel safe to explore new ideas about how the world works. They discover how different people live, and they build the confidence, focus, and social skills they need to succeed, both in school and beyond.
Your child will see the same caregivers every day, who will focus on building a strong relationship with your child during routine care, in facilities laid out according to NAEYC best practices. We're always happy to share the details of what your child has experienced, listen to news from home, and keep you involved.
Preschool
Our cultures play a huge part in how we relate to the world, and we never miss a chance for our preschoolers to reflect on how ideas differ across cultures. We incorporate the traditions and cultures of our students' families into our daily actions, and we draw big educational concepts out of students' casual comments. And consistency is key. We don’t jump from one topic to another, but instead investigate new ideas over time and across all of our activity areas.
