We understand that infants and toddlers need a nurturing environment, sensitive to their individual needs and schedules. Our Infant/Toddler Teachers receive specialized training in early development and attachment and bonding to establish trust and foster learning. At our Whitendale Center, we employee infant and toddler curriculum in Attention, Social and Emotional, Language , Cognitive , and Physical Development. These skills are monitored using the Desired Results Developmental Profile and shared with parents throughout the year. We partner with USDA to offer two nutritious meals and a snack to the children in our care. Our teachers are certificated, CPR certified, and fingerprinted to ensure the safety of children. Family F.O.C.U.S. believes children are successful when family and school partner in the child's education. We offer Parents unique and fun ways to participate in the education of their children.
