Infant/Toddler Program

Infant

The warmth of our caregivers is complemented by our specially designed indoor and outdoor environment. A variety of sights, sounds, and textures invite babies to explore in our safe setting. Our homelike atmosphere and consistent staff supports your baby’s need for emotional security.

Using the RIE method, established by Magda Gerber, even the youngest child is treated respectfully and at their own developmental level. We do not use bouncers, swings, or playpens. At Early Horizons, children are rocked and held by their caregivers. Every child is given a primary caregiver to care for them throughout the day. Your baby will thrive in the security and consistency we offer. To keep you informed about your child’s day, we routinely record your child’s naps, eating, and activities through the app called ProCare so that you can see what and how they’re doing in real time.

Toddler

From those wobbly steps of a one-year-old to the confident gait of a two-year-old, the toddler years are both exciting and challenging. Our toddler curriculum recognizes that children in this stage are learning through movement and hands-on exploration. We offer plenty of opportunity and space for running, climbing, and jumping, as well as dramatic play, sensory art experiences, music, and stories. We encourage the language and listening skills that children need to transition into our preschool program.
