Toddlers

Children approximately* 18 to 36 months old are encouraged to practice self-help skills such as dressing, potty training, and washing hands. We also work on language development skills through stories, teacher modeling, and word repetition. Our teachers help children learn positive socialization skills and assist them in developing their own individual abilities through art, music, and play.
Infants

Children approximately* 6 weeks to 18 months old are given individualized care. We keep them on their feeding and diapering schedules and provide one-on-one nurturing care during playtime with gentle rocking and singing. For older infants, we provide educational toys and activities to enhance the development of hand-eye coordination, balance, and sensory awareness.
