Our Montessori-based Infant daycare program ensures a nurturing, safe, and healthy environment. Our program is also a place where children feel loved and are encouraged to explore their environment. Unlike traditional daycare, our programs focuses on development of the whole child.
Toddlers Daycare Program
Our Toddler daycare program helps children develop their cognitive skills, motor skills, sensory skills, language skills, practical life skills, and social skills.

For instance, they do this by working with activities from the five Montessori areas of Language, Math, Practical Life, Sensorial and Cultural Studies.
