Developmental Goals
Goals
for Infants and Toddlers
Our goal in the Infant/Toddler program is to help in the development of
children who are secure, confident and competent. We provide an
environment that is emotionally warm and nurturing, physically safe and
cognitively challenging. There is a time for uninterrupted play and
freedom to explore and interact with other infants. Respect is shown
to the child along with sensitive observation in order to understand
her/his individual needs. It is our desire to work as a team with
parents to provide the best for their child.
