A portion of every day is conducted in Spanish in each and every grade. Exposure to a second language at an early age benefits both cognitive and social development. Children learn to see another’s point of view and children who have been exposed to a second language at an early age outperform their peers in both math and science.
Infancy is a crucial time of rapid development. Children are driven to observe, experiment and experience new sensations, as they build lifelong foundations as explorers and problem solvers! New discoveries are at the heart of every interaction our youngest children have with others and with their environment.
Our teachers create experiences and opportunities that invite exploration and support the important development that is occurring in a child’s first two years. The infant curriculum is designed to encourage confidence and develop cooperative relationships with both peers and adults, all in an atmosphere of inspiration and growth filled with joy, laughter, and developmental excellence.
A solid attachment to their teachers and parents enables children to understand that they can rely upon others and that they matter. We encourage parental involvement and strive to create meaningful relationships with our parents so that we are partners in their children’s education. The Infant Center at The J is a warm, loving and enriching environment -a second home where the children can grow, learn and discover!
