New Odyssey for Infants!
Development occurs at a rapid pace during the first eighteen months after birth. In an effort to keep infants with peers of similar developmental levels together, infants are divided into two smaller classroom groups. The Composers are our babies who are 6 weeks old through mobile infants and our Pioneers are mobile infants through approximately eighteen months. Both infant rooms provide the opportunity for your baby to develop at his or her own pace in an atmosphere of security and love. The materials provided, balanced with nurturing interactions with caregivers, help babies develop cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills beginning to create the educational foundation that will support the building blocks of their future.
