Our babies program involves the development of hand-eye coordination, mastery of large motor skills, and independent exploration. Most of the activities are meant to be used with the children individually or in small groups during their playtime. Babies learn best through their independent exploration and interactions with their caregivers, who can promote their learning by initiating activities based on the children's play behaviors and interests.
Each week we introduce a new theme and simple activities that well enable the children to develop their own personal abilities and skills.
The indoor gymnasium is always available to the children in times of extreme weather, and we have another covered outside play area that is fully fenced.
Our main goal in this room is to provide a loving and positive atmosphere for your child.
