In our infant room, each child has the opportunity to explore and learn in a stimulating and secure space. Weekly activities are thoughtfully planned to reflect your child’s interests, fostering exploration, learning, and independence.

We provide bottle feeding and solid foods, tailored to your child’s needs, and each infant has a designated crib or mat for multiple rest periods throughout the day. For fresh air and exploration, we use our two six-seater strollers to take the infants on walks around the building.

Our caring staff handle diaper changes, maintain a clean and safe environment, and closely monitor each infant’s well-being. Parents receive daily reports detailing their child’s meals, nap times, and overall day, ensuring you stay connected and informed.

Our bright and spacious room provides your little one with a safe and stimulating environment filled with fun activities and age-appropriate toys.

Our carefully designed daily routine and weekly schedule support each child’s unique needs and development.

Child-sized furniture promotes self-help skills such as independent eating. Breakfast and hot lunches are provided, and each child has their own cot for daily rest and sleep.

Our caring staff guide toddlers in developing important skills like eating, dressing, and personal hygiene. Since communication becomes increasingly important at this stage, children are encouraged to expand their vocabulary and expressive language through songs, stories, and games. Interactive “circle time” fosters active participation and engagement.

Toddlers enjoy sensory exploration with sand and water play, while age-appropriate educational toys introduce concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, and sizes.

Children can:

• Investigate, predict, and problem-solve in the science and sensory center
