Our exclusive BIG STEPS CURRICULUM® for Infants
The Big Steps Curriculum® for infants enhanced by our Brain Waves® Curriculum, considers that development and learning begin prenatally and continue throughout life. Young infants are immersed in a curriculum that invites and promotes multiple opportunities for motor and sensory activities.

Literacy and language development are also carefully nurtured.
