The Child Development Program partners with Reading is Fundamental, The Letter People, Tumblebug, Soundwaters, The Literacy Van, The Ferguson Library, The Bruce Museum, and the Family Resource Centers.

Infants and Toddlers

Infant rooms range from 6 weeks to 24 months in age. Toddler Rooms range from 15 months to 3 years in age.

The infant and toddler program encourages each child to move through the appropriate developmental levels providing:

• An environment where every child can learn through experience, trail and error, repetition, imitation and identification
• A broad array of stimulating experiences with a framework of routines and a stress-free atmosphere
• A structured learning environment where routine tasks such as eating, toileting and dressing are important opportunities to help children learn about their world
• Verbal interaction between adults and children recognizing that infant and toddler sounds are the beginning of communication

Pre-School

The pre-school program uses the Creative Curriculum, with instruction in reading, math, science, social studies, the arts and technology. It features active, hands-on learning, with activities to foster school preparedness skills and competencies, self-esteem and physical development.
