OUR INFANT CHILDCARE PROGRAM

At no other stage of life does learning occur so rapidly. Find comfort knowing your child is in the right place at the right time!

Available to children as young as six weeks old

The Kids ‘R’ Kids Infant Program has been carefully designed to deliver a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment with activities to help your child achieve important milestones while having fun!

Every day reveals an exciting new world for your baby. Learning and development starts long before birth and accelerates rapidly afterwards. Therefore, infants must continually build knowledge and connect new ideas to what they already know and do.

Our Big Steps Curriculum^® for infants nurtures and supports the development of abilities that your baby needs to succeed in learning, literacy, and life.

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.
