Our Programs In Downers Grove, IL
Infant/Toddler And Two-Year-Olds
In the infant/toddler and two-year-old classroom, we encourage the child to use muscles and work on coordination and concentration. There is active physical play and times of concentration. Language and movement also dominate daily planning for the classroom. Happy children are those finding out about themselves, others, and their world. If you ask our children who taught them how to read, they usually say, “I taught myself.”

The primary program has been designed to meet the young child's social, academic, and emotional needs.
