We follow your baby's schedule for eating and sleeping, not ours. The infant room is stocked with books and hands-on toys, and the day is full of stories, songs, and simple games.

Five enrichment activities give children new ways to move, create, and learn.

Spanish

Young children pick up new languages easily, so we start early.

Yoga

Stretching, breathing, and learning how to calm down.

Soccer

Running, kicking, taking turns, and being a good teammate.

Cooking

Measuring, mixing, and tasting. Math and science they can eat.
