Just as each snowflake is similar, but unique... so too is each child.

In our INFANT/TODDLER program, we strive to make sure your child’s individual needs are met.

We follow a daily program that utilizes many proven techniques to stimulate thinking and address sensory needs to help them develop to their fullest potential. Our teachers respond promptly, consistently, and lovingly to meet every need.

This helps infants and toddlers learn to trust, feel valued, and important. This loving environment also helps reduce separation stress for both parents and child.

Our infant teachers work with the children to help them reach certain milestones. Your child is given a loving, secure environment in which to explore and feel accepted.

While it may look like they are just playing, our teachers know they are working on important skills. For instance, helping a child to stand is building leg muscles and balance. Allowing them to feed themselves or hold their own bottle is helping them improve their self-pride. Allowing them lie on the floor with other infants helps them to become more socially interactive and inquisitive. Responding to their coos and cries helps to build their feeling of security. Discussing the day’s events, the clothing they are wearing, and what they are eating helps build language skills. Listening to music helps develop their listening skills.

This is what we mean when we say “at ALC, play IS learning!”
