Our Programs
Infant

Infants are delicate and precious. We provide a 'second home' environment where babies can explore and feel secure. Teachers speak gently and their pace is unhurried.
Sensorial development - We have soft, colorful, gentle sound toys for their sensory stimulation.
Motor development - We follow scientific guidelines for meeting appropriate age milestones, including reaching for toys, and gentle exercises, including tummy time.
Language development - We engage infants with talking, singing, and book reading.
Developmental Milestones - Children at this age are building motor skills like crawling, sitting, standing, and taking their first steps. They are also learning to communicate through actions and sounds.
