From making the transition from a bottle to a sippy cup to crawling for the first time, infants are continually developing and reaching milestones in the first year of their lives.The infant program is offered at both Centers. Babies may begin at six weeks or anytime during their 1st year.  We have wonderful caregivers that have the experienced to give your baby the up most attention and love. Music, story time, and an abundance of stimulating toys encourage targeted growth and developmental milestones as your baby begins an adventure of discovery. After one year of age, and able to walk and feed himself/herself, your baby will transition to our toddler room.
