The curriculum
- Play with a plan
- Play-based, with intentional learning and structure every day, on daily lesson plans aligned with Pennsylvania’s Early Learning Standards.
- Reggio Emilia
- We follow each child’s curiosity: rooms set up to invite exploring, and teachers who build on what each child is drawn to.
- David Elkind
- Inspired by child development expert David Elkind, we prioritize daily play because children learn best through hands-on exploration, imagination, and discovery.
- Lev Vygotsky
- Our teachers intentionally guide play and learning experiences, helping children build new skills just beyond what they can accomplish independently.

Frequently asked questions by parents.
Who is the infant room for?
Babies from 6 weeks to 18 months, grouped by stage rather than all together. A 6-week-old isn’t in the same room as an older baby who’s starting to walk: as babies grow, they move to the right classroom for their milestones, mobility and the time of year. Once a child turns one, the required ratio changes to 1:5, so that’s part of placement too.
Do you offer part-time and full-time?
Yes. Two days (Tuesday and Thursday), three days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday), or the full week.
What are your hours?
Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 6 PM, all year round.
How many babies does each teacher care for?
One teacher for every four infants. Once a child turns one, the required ratio is one teacher for every five.
Will you follow my baby’s routine?
Yes. Schedules, naps and feedings follow your baby’s routine.
Can you help my baby nap without me?
Yes. Naps follow the routine you’ve set at home, and you’ll see them in your updates.
Will I get updates during the day?
Yes. Thorough updates and pictures throughout the day, covering feedings, naps, bottles finished and activities.
Are extracurriculars extra?
No. Enrichment like yoga and cooking is included for every child, infants too, adapted to their age. There’s no added cost for summer camp either.
