Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Most importantly, everyone at our centers—our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world.
Infants (6 weeks - 12 month)
The main goal of our infant class is to create a home away from home. We want to create an inviting environment where your baby will feel loved and secure.
The same caregivers will care for your baby day in and day out to make sure that the bonds that are built are strong and enduring. Your baby will receive the individual attention he/she desires through playing, singing, talking, holding and cuddling. Your baby will be comforted when he/she is upset. Prompt attention will be given to your baby when he/she needs to be changed or is hungry. Your baby will be consistently communicated with. Our loving caregivers will talk to them when they are eating, being changed, held, singing, and playing.
Because babies learn with all their senses, our educators expose them to multiple sensorial experiences with materials such as paint, clay, sand, light and shadows, and much more. Children begin to point, raise hands, and make different movements and sounds to communicate as the educator asks questions connecting to the movement or to the sound. Babies love to be spoken to. Your child will begin to imitate sounds they hear and experiment with different facial expressions like smiling and frowning. Our educators prepare various large motor experiences inside the classroom for your child to challenge themself physically and develop gross motor skills. It is a time when children reach many milestones such as, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, and maybe even take their first steps.
The classroom will be safe, fee from any harmful equipment or objects. Your baby will have his/her own individual crib and cubby.

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day.
Toddler 12-24 Month
The main focus of our toddler program is to provide an away from home environment that builds independence, a positive self-image, social development, self-exprrssion and self-control.
As your child begins to walk, run, and jump, our cargivers observe and analyze their interactions with the environment, materials, and each other. Our teachers use these observations, to recognize your child’s interests and create projections based on your child’s curiosity and their teachers’ intentions. Empathy, pretend play, and social roles are explored as teachers support your children as they navigate their first relationships and begin to create their own identity.
While their fine motor skills evolve the children dig and pour in the sensory table, paint, scribble, and express graphically on an easel, paper, or other materials. The world is full of things to discover for our toddlers as they move and dance to music, discover insects, leaves and flowers, and begin sorting and collecting things they find in the playground.
As your child grows in a safe and comfortable environment they are more open to take risks and be more autonomous. Independence becomes and evident milestone for two year olds. As they discover all the things they can do they want to do more things for themselves such eating, washing hands, dressing themselves, and learning to use the toilette.

Why it's so important
As they develop a better sense of time, children of the two’s separate from parents with greater ease. Since they begin to better understand a daily flow and others’ routines, they are more comfortable accepting transitions and soothe themselves with their ability to make predictions about what is coming next.
nothing is impossible
To your three and four-year-olds, nothing is impossible! They are opening up their world and developing special friendships. Together, they are learning new words and forming new ideas every day. As children explore and develop relationships they build an understanding of learning what causes certain feelings and realize that others may react differently to the same situations. Because of this children begin to further progress in more complex social interactions such as joining in organized group play.

FREE V P K Program (4-5 Years old)
Voluntary Prekindergarden Program (VPK)
The Voluntary Prekindergarten Program – or VPK – is a FREE program for 4 and 5-year-olds who reside in Florida. Participating children must be 4 years of age on or before September 1st.
What is VPK about?
Voluntary Prekindergarten or VPK gives children a jump start by preparing them for school and enhancing their pre-reading, pre-math, language, and social skills. By developing the skills children need to become strong readers and students at an early age, children are more likely to be successful in school. VPK classrooms offer high-quality programs that include high literacy standards, developmentally appropriate curricula, manageable class sizes, and qualified teachers.
why is it so important?
The most important growth and development in the brain happen by the age of five.
The early years are the learning years. A child’s ability to be attentive and to follow directions emerges in the early years. Structured early learning fosters these abilities for later success in school and in life. Pre-K prepares children to be ready for school. Children who participate in high-quality early childhood education programs develop better language skills, score higher in school-readiness tests, and have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school. They are also better prepared for Kindergarten, especially in the areas of pre-reading, pre-math, and social skills.
