Teachers build trusting relationships through gentle interactions, sensory exploration, and meaningful connection. Feeling secure and cared for provides a foundation for learning.

Our infant program includes

  • Individual activity plans based on each child's rhythms and needs.
  • Flexible sleeping and eating schedules that follow each baby's natural routine.
  • Safe sleep practices guided by pediatric standards.
  • Early social interaction that encourages curiosity and connection.
  • Cognitive and motor development through open-ended play.
  • Age-appropriate materials and environments that invite exploration.
Feeding supportWe provide a comfortable, private space for nursing parents. Expressed breast milk must arrive bottled in liquid form (not frozen) and clearly labeled. Formula and wipes are included in tuition.

Little Crawlers & Caterpillars

As toddlers learn to walk, talk, and form friendships, they discover new ways to explore the world.

Our toddler program recognizes that young children learn through hands-on experiences, relationships, and time to play. Teachers use what they observe to support independence, communication, and confidence.

Our toddler program includes

  • Daily community experiences that nurture social skills and connection.
  • A safe, engaging, and predictable environment.
  • Uninterrupted playtime to follow children's curiosity.
  • Encouragement that builds confidence, self-esteem, and a love of learning.
  • Exploration Stations for dramatic play, creative arts, language, and sensory discovery.

Cozy Cocoons

Early preschoolers bring curiosity, energy, and big ideas to learning.

Our Reggio-inspired approach honors children as capable learners. Teachers plan experiences that support language, problem-solving, and social development, while play, art, music, movement, and group activities help children practice sharing and cooperation.

Our Cocoons program includes

  • A dedicated room for early preschoolers who are still toilet training.
  • Daily community experiences that support skills and social growth.
  • Environments that nurture the whole child.
  • Child-directed play at each child's pace.
  • Cognitive, physical, social, and emotional learning experiences.
  • Portfolios documenting children's creations and development.

  • Daily community activities that strengthen communication, turn-taking, and problem-solving.
  • Small-group experiences in early math and literacy.
  • Portfolios that celebrate creativity, growth, and each child's voice.

Getting started

Your first day

Allow a little extra time at drop-off so your child can settle in using our transition room. A calm goodbye and familiar reassurance help, and you are welcome to check in during the day.

Growing up

Moving to a new classroom

We consider developmental readiness and emotional maturity, and involve your family as your child gets to know a new space, teachers, and friends.

Partnership

Family conferences

We schedule regular conferences for every age group, including infants, to discuss development, celebrate progress, and plan next steps together.
