Programs & a day here

Care that grows with your child.

Three age groups, one continuous home. As your child develops, the day shifts to meet them, while the caregivers, the space, and the rhythm stay familiar. Weekend and single-day care are also available for any age.

i.

6 weeks - 23 months

Infant

Bottles on demand, naps when they need them, and arms when they ask. We follow your baby's schedule, not the other way around, with plenty of tummy time, soft play, and lullabies in two languages.

  • On-demand feeding & sleep
  • Tummy time, soft play, lullabies in English & Spanish
  • Daily update on feeds, sleeps & diapers

2 - 5 years · in diapers

Toddler

The walking, climbing, exploring age. Days are full of sensory play, simple words in two languages, and lots of time in our big backyard. We support potty learning at each child's own pace, whenever a family is ready to start.

  • Sensory bins, soft climbing, music time
  • Words and songs in English & Spanish
  • Potty learning at your child's pace

iii.

2 - 5 years · potty trained

Tiny Explorer

For children who've moved past diapers, days bring a bit more independence: dressing themselves, helping at the table, and leading their own play. Big feelings and big imaginations get plenty of room, with read-aloud time, pretend play, and outdoor adventures in English and Spanish.

  • Hands-on, play-based activities
  • Read-aloud time in two languages
  • Outdoor play every day, weather permitting

Plus weekend and single-day care for families with non-traditional schedules, at any age.

A predictable rhythm, room for the unexpected.
