Our program is designed to meet the unique needs of very young children. We provide a safe, warm, loving atmosphere where children explore through play while in the company of attentive and
interactive adults. Children’s interests and care giving tasks define the curriculum. Children are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities and experiences with the support and guidance of a
teacher. For infants and young toddlers the routine is based on each individual child. With older toddlers, teachers begin to guide the routine, however, an individual child’s needs on any given day may alter the plan the teachers have. We value responsiveness to each individual child’s needs and low adult to child ratios as being essential to the quality care each child receives.  In each classroom there are two primary caregivers. The primary caregivers support each other by working as a team. This allows the children to develop relationships with both caregivers in the room and
enables parents to communicate needs comfortably to either teacher. Children learn as they explore in an environment which provides space to move, a variety of toys and materials and interaction with peers and caring adults. Teachers and children share the joy of newly emerging skills.  When children behave in ways that are inappropriate or unsafe teachers redirect them to behave in a
more appropriate manner. Positive reinforcement and non-punitive disciplinary methods are used to guide children’s behavior.
