Infant & Toddler Program
(Ages 3 - 18 Months)
A Home Away From Home for Your Little One
At TBS, we know that entrusting your little one to an early childhood program is a milestone moment. That’s why our Infant and Toddler programs are built on a single, vital foundation: creating a warm, nurturing, and loving “home away from home.”
We combine individualized care with rich early learning experiences, ensuring your child feels safe, cherished, and empowered to explore the world around them.
Low Ratios, Big Care
Your child’s comfort and safety are our top priorities. TBS strictly adheres to state standards to maintain a 1:4 teacher-to-child ratio (or better) in both our Infant and Toddler classrooms. With small group sizes, our dedicated educators offer the deep, personalized attention every child deserves at this foundational stage.
The Infant Room | 3–12 Months
Nurturing Care & Sensory Discovery
In our Infant Room, we honor and adapt to your baby’s personal schedule for feedings, naps, and quiet time—ensuring a smooth, comforting transition from home. Throughout the day, our loving teachers gently spark curiosity through playful sensory experiences that support essential milestones.
- Sensory Exploration: From cheerful bubble play to seasonal water exploration during the summer.
- Movement & Play: Hands-on manipulatives designed to inspire fine motor skills, plus time in our dedicated Gross Motor Room to stretch, roll, and crawl.
- Early Literacy & Music: Daily storytime, language building, and lively music sessions led by specialized music teachers.
The Toddler Room | 12–18 Months
Growing Independence & Joyful Connections
As your child grows into a toddler, their world expands! In our 12–18 month classroom, children gently transition toward a predictable school routine while building crucial social and independence skills.
- Social-Emotional Foundations: Early practice with sharing, empathy, and learning how to navigate classroom life with peers.
- Language & Communication: Rich oral language development embedded in play, routines, and storytelling.
- Enriched Weekly Specials: Toddlers enjoy an action-packed schedule with visiting specialists, including:
- My Gym & Kiddo Kinetics for active physical development
- Music with Avital and Miss Jodi for rhythm and song
- Weekly Shabbat Celebrations to foster community and tradition
