Our infant room provides care to children 6 weeks through 16 months of age. The classroom provides flexible daily schedules to meet the needs of the individual children. We are equipped with a divided classroom to provide safety and security to non-mobile infants and freedom to explore for those who are scooting, crawling or walking. As the child reaches the developmental readiness to transition to the toddler classroom, the teachers will help them to adjust their daily schedule and routines. This provides a smooth transition of care.
Experience Early Learning Curriculum by Mother Goose Time
Your child will participate in a nationally recognized educational program that is designed uniquely for toddlers. Experience Baby, Toddler, and Preschool are research-based curriculums that support your child’s rapidly growing curiosity. As your child participates in this program, they will:
- Build relationship skills and learn to express their feelings.
- Have access to specialized books, tools, art materials and toys that invite them to investigate new concepts and build vocabulary.
- Have access to specialized books, science tools, art materials, games and math manipulatives to encourage problem-solving and creative thinking.

- Engage in daily routines and activities that support brain development while also building the self-regulation and attention span needed for long-term school success.
As your child grows, the Experience Curriculum helps the teacher individualize the experiences and increase the challenges so that your child is constantly learning at their unique pace. Your child’s progress is tracked with their individualized assessment form and personalized portfolio. Your child’s teacher participates in monthly professional development and receives a new Experience Curriculum teaching kit each month to ensure that your child benefits from the latest teaching methods and the highest quality tools for hands-on learning.

Research has shown that the quality of a child’s experiences in the first few years significantly shapes how their brains develop into adulthood. Experience Curriculum is designed to support you and the teacher to embrace your child’s natural sense of wonder and help them reach their unique potential as they discover our diverse and beautiful world.
