Early learning

Through thoughtful interactions, our educators form strong bonds with each child to create a sense of security that allows them to thrive. In conjunction with parents, our educators focus on engaging children’s natural curiosity in order to reach developmental milestones while caring for their individual emotional needs. Our program is adaptable to meet your baby’s unique needs and schedule. All of our Infant classrooms include a separate sleep room so babies can sleep on their own schedule and those that are awake, can engage in activities with their educators.

Shaping young minds

The Learning Nest Infant curriculum is a blend of HighScope and Baby Signs with introduction to Montessori philosophies to ensure a well-balanced approach to learning. Our mission is to cultivate early communication skills and foster independence so children can develop with confidence in a warm and nurturing environment.
