INFANT & TODDLER CARE
EARLY LEARNING

Infants: 6 weeks - 18 months  | 
Toddlers: 18 months - 36 months

Our infant and toddler care programs are designed to enrich the developmental skills of your young one. Our caregivers are highly skilled and trained to provide your child with a loving, responsive environment. As infants move from “tummy time” into the toddler stage, they’ll receive plenty of opportunities to explore their environments, learn problem-solving skills, how to interact with others and learn concepts through first-hand experiences.
