Overview

Infants: The infant room focuses on relationship-building and developmentally appropriate interactions, using personal care routines, tummy time, stories, singing and exploratory activities to support early learning.
Toddler's and Two's: Toddler programs emphasise social-emotional and motor-skill development and introduce basics such as colors, numbers, shapes and sign language, with a focus on independence and character development.
Preschool: Preschool classrooms aim to expand social-emotional, physical, cognitive and language skills, using open-ended play to encourage problem-solving and critical thinking.

Staff, enrollment and fees

Staff include classroom teachers and a director; some staff have college coursework or degrees in early childhood education. The centre accepts state child-care assistance and DCFS vouchers, publishes rates by age group, and notes a newly opened infant room and current enrollment availability.
