Nursery
The Nursery's mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment while supporting infants of varying abilities to reach age-appropriate developmental skills and milestones during their first year of life. This is accomplished by following a daily lesson plan that includes language, fine motor, gross motor, and art activities. A rich variety of developmentally appropriate infant toys and equipment are located in the Nursery classroom and are accessible to the children independently, as well as with needed assistance. Our 1:3 ratio of child to teachers allows the infants to receive essential care and attention at all times while in the Nursery.
