The beginning of wonderful preschool memories starts in our Carnations class. Our babies are cared for by friendly, enthusiastic, and responsive teachers in a friendly, caring, and happy environment. Their daily needs are met with smiles and frequent eye contact. Babies will eat their meals together and begin learning how to play with their peers while also having individual attention for considerations such as naps and bottle feedings. 

As baby’s physical and exploratory skills develop, the Carnations classroom offers new challenges and discoveries. Our teachers nurture and encourage the children as they begin to communicate, crawl, and walk. They are talked to about what they are seeing and experiencing, encouraging language development. Music is played in the classroom and songs are sung frequently. There is plenty of cuddle time and each child is given lots of individualized attention. Your child’s happiness and comfort are our first priority as we provide them with a safe and secure environment. The first few years of a child's life are critical to establishing not only healthy brain development but also making important connections that will stimulate healthy overall development. Our baby curriculum focuses on making sure every aspect of the child is being considered.
