Nursery
Our infant room is homey and bright to offer a caring and comforting environment. Teachers meet baby’s needs consistently, promptly, and lovingly in response to each child’s individual schedule. We provide appropriate stimulation and activities for our babies according to their age and developmental stage. Infants are encouraged on gross motor skill development; tummy time and muscle strength are focused on to facilitate crawling. For infants who are crawling or beginning to walk, we work on muscle development and gross motor skills to continue to develop walking skills. Our caregivers make sure parents are informed daily about their child’s growth and development. Our infants’ needs are monitored constantly and all feedings, diaper changes and other activities are recorded for the parents’ daily.

Before and After Care
Our facility provides after care for pre-school to school age children. By attending our program, children are able to meet new friends, get help with homework, have fun through physical activities and eat breakfast or snack. We understand that some preschool age children have the opportunity to attend a pre-k classroom for partial days or even a few days a week. We would love to help ease your mind, as your child is welcome to join us before/after their program, or on days they are not in class.
