The way children learn, think, and behave through their lives is shaped by early experiences.  Studies show that children learn and retain more while having fun.  Our curriculum offers a stimulating balance between learning and play. Our classrooms are designed to intrigue children emphasizing fun and play. The curriculum and activities are adapted to the developmental capacity of each age group.  Your child will be allowed to explore, learn and grow at their own pace while being supervised by our experienced staff of teachers.

Learning takes place at the very beginning of a child’s life, infants learn differently than older children, we teach infants through care giving. Love is our main ingredient in caring for infants, they are cuddled and nurtured throughout the day. Talking to them promotes language development, smiling and cuddling helps them feel secure and trusting of others when away from their parents. Infants also learn through exploring, we have carefully planned our center to provide a colorful and safe environment for your infant. We offer specially chosen toys that are soft, colorful and easily sanitized. We encourage play and creativity with music therapy.  Reading books to develop their language skills builds confidence as they approach their first building block into toddler hood.

We provide a detailed record of your infants DAILY care that includes diaper changes, feedings, naps and any special accomplishments during your child’s day.

Toddlers love to explore the world around them. At this stage they are increasing their language, social and muscle development as well as coordination skills. We have established a safe and colorful environment for them to achieve this. ABC ACADEMY Toddlers have a variety of toys and supplies to help them develop naturally and individually.

Toddlers have a lively imagination and start expressing their thoughts and creativity at this age.  Reading, dancing, singing, climbing, and the Home Living Center are several things offered which help toddlers to develop and increase their language skills and social experiences. Exploring their independence is very important to their social development. For this reason and to encourage creativity, we introduce self-directed activities that include drawing, coloring, and painting.

The more fun toddlers have the more they learn, their curiosity helps shape their development. To help you follow this important stage in your child's life, which is the building block to Preschool, we provide a detailed record of your toddlers DAILY care that includes diaper changes, feedings, naps and any special accomplishments during your child’s day.
