Infant and Young Toddler Community
(6 weeks – 15 months)
Our Infant-Toddler Community offers programs for children from six weeks through 15 months of age in our Infant
and Young Toddler classrooms.
Materials in the Infant environment have been purposefully selected and the nurturing staff is experienced in
recognizing developmental milestones in order to nurture and support the learning opportunities of each young child.
The warm and nurturing environment promotes a balance of peaceful comfort and engaging stimulation for our
youngest students.
The Young Toddler classroom offers a doorway to learning in a home-like setting that nurtures the spirit while
supporting growth and independence. Teachers are specialists in the needs related to each age group, which include
the establishment of autonomy, separation and the first transition to school, toilet learning, etc. The educational
program includes everyday living skills, activities for sensorimotor and language development, and experiences in
arts and sciences.
As educators, we recognize the importance that parents play in their children’s lives; they are the ones most able to
affect their child’s education. We value this role and encourage parents to be active participants in the program.
Parents are involved in assisting their children to identify their needs and in facilitating the educational experience
necessary to meet them.
