The Children’s Hour teachers and staff spend lots of time cuddling and talking to your baby to instill trust. They provide a healthy early learning environment for movement, exploration and communication. Our infant care play area is filled with toys and books to help your baby develop at his or her own pace. Teachers sing songs and read stories to encourage language acquisition, and they pass balls and play games to develop the children’s motor skills.
Teachers work with the parents develop the child’s daily schedule, including nap times, play times and feeding times. The Wobblers classroom helps the children transition from infancy to toddlerhood as the budding explorers learn new vocabulary and self-help skills. Teachers introduce sign language to encourage the children to express their thoughts and needs.
All programs are customized to your child’s progress, needs and age.
In this program, we developed curriculum that will help stimulate the infant’s senses with lessons that include art and music. With the help of teachers that are very positive and loving, we aim to build the foundations of the child. You can be rest assured that your child will be receiving the highest quality of care.
You can use our online daily sheet to track your child’s progress throughout the day.
Our Wobblers program guides your baby’s early experiences toward a lifelong love of learning.
