Infant/Toddler Program

At It Takes A Village Infant Toddler and Preschool Center, we continue fulfilling our goal of providing quality childcare services to better support your parental responsibilities. Within our Infant/Toddler program, we have five (5) classrooms dedicated to students ages 6 weeks to 2.5 years old to explore, develop skills, reach milestones, and grow in a healthy environment apart from your home. Each classroom educates the same age group, so children grow, develop, and learn with their peers. Experiences/ lesson plans created by the classroom’s dedicated Early Educators follow the HighScope Curriculum. The Infant/ Toddler Early Education Team also works cohesively to ensure a seamless transition for your child as they grow up to the next developmental level. We are working with parents who seek support in educating and nurturing their little loved ones.

Our HighScope-trained childcare professionals understand and acknowledge the serious demands of infants and toddlers. Our Program is designed to stimulate exploration and discovery. Children receive academic stimulation, social and emotional growth, and physical development in a stress-free, safe, and healthy environment.

We know that nothing gives you peace of mind more than being assured that your baby is in good hands.
