The main building is at 1650 Columbia Street. Infant, preschool and school age programs are located there, as well as the administrative staff. The toddler program is housed in the Clinical Services Building on campus at 901 E. 18th Avenue. The infant program is designed to help parents feel as comfortable as possible leaving their infants in the care of others. We encourage parents to spend as much time as they would like visiting and feeding their children.
Caregivers look to parents for guidance on meeting each child's individual needs.
The primary goal for infants is learn to trust adults. In the second year of life, the child's primary job is to become more independent. A room that is good for toddlers needs floor space, a variety of toys and containers, as well as art supplies and equipment to stimulate pretend play. Exploration is the main activity for this age. Children are less dependent on adults, but still need a great deal of adult support.
