Our curriculum is based on accepted theories of child development.  In each stage of life children take on special developmental tasks and challenges related to their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.  For infants and toddlers, development occurs in all of these areas as they use their senses to gain a sense of security and identity and to explore the objects in their world.  The key to meeting the developmental needs of infants and toddlers can be found in the responsive relationships children build with the important adults in their lives.

The process that is used on a daily basis at our center includes strategies for setting up the environment, selecting toys and materials, interacting with children, and planning activities.
