INFANTS
The infant room is a pivotal environment that caters to the development and care of children aged six weeks to about 12 months. It is specifically designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating atmosphere for the youngest members of our society. Caregivers in this room are specially trained to cater to the unique needs of infants, focusing on their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. Each day is structured around typical routines, such as feeding, diaper changes, naptime, and play, which are critical for establishing a sense of security and regularityfor the infants. In the infant room, caregivers engage in various activities that promote sensory and motor skills. The room is filled with age-appropriate toys that encourage exploration and interaction, such as soft blocks, rattles, and colorful mobiles. Caregivers often read to the infants, sing songs, and play games that involve clapping or waving, which stimulates auditory and visual development. These interactions are not only crucial for physical growth but also help infants develop social bonds and begin recognizing familiar faces and voices. In essence, the infant room serves as a foundational building block for growth and development during an incredibly formative period in their young lives.
TODDLERS
The toddler room fosters early childhood development through structured activities and unstructured play. Children aged one to three experience significant growth during this stage. In the toddler room, caregivers and educators create a nurturing space where toddlers can explore their surroundings while encouraging social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. From the moment the toddlers enter the room, they are welcomed with engaging activities designed to stimulate their curiosity and creativity, promoting an atmosphere of learning through play. Storytime is another important component, where caregivers read aloud to the children, helping them develop language skills and an appreciation for books. Group activities like singing, dancing, and simple games promote social skills such as sharing and cooperation, while also allowing toddlers to practice cognitive skills such as following directions and taking turns. By modeling appropriate responses to various feelings and helping toddlers articulate their emotions, caregivers teach essential emotional regulation skills. Throughout the day, the supportive and responsive interactions in the toddler room not only enhance a child's individual growth but also lay the groundwork for positive social interactions and a lifelong love for learning. Overall, the toddler room provides a rich tapestry of exploration, socialization, and emotional growth, setting the stage for future educational experiences.
PRE-SCHOOL
In this setting, children learn to cooperate with one another, share resources, and communicate their ideas. Through imaginative play, they explore different roles, which helps them understand the world around them. This playful learning approach is backed by a wealth of research showing that children who engage in play-based learning are more likely to succeed academically later on. The preschool classroom plays a crucial role in fostering social and emotional development. Children acquire skills to build relationships, resolve disputes, and communicate their emotions effectively. When conflicts occur, teachers assist children in navigating the resolution process by encouraging them to express their feelings and listen attentively to others. Additionally, educators provide children with strategies for emotional regulation. Methods like deep- breathing exercises or utilizing designated 'calm-down' areas enable children to handle their emotions better, reinforcing the idea that feeling upset is normal and that there are positive ways to cope with such feelings. The experiences children have in our preschool classroom are foundational for their future learning. Through structured routines, interactive play, and supportive relationships, children develop essential skills that will serve them throughout their educational journeys.

Here, children have the opportunity to transition from the academic environment to a more relaxed and creatively stimulating atmosphere.
