​Infant/Toddler Care - The Enriched Program - The "Love" Bug
Your child will “learn to play with other children, and play to learn about other children” and the world around them. A gentle approach to explore their environment, learn basic self help skills, and discover challenges of growth are encouraged . Social challenges are part of life and through playing with others we can teach social problem skills, exploring their senses, and challenge their abilities in their environment. We have a strong commitment to a loving environment and attention for your child’s growth to flourish, friendships to blossom, and competence to celebrate, as they discover what they love, which will help the love bug to spread!
Be careful the learning bug might catch you!
