“Infant, Waddler, & Toddler Programs Students immersed in our Infant Program enjoy close and loving interactions with their two primary caregivers in this program, which maintains a 6:2 ratio. At this level, the teachers provide all of the care, stimulation and affection. Their work is supplemented, though, by our music teacher, who joins them twice a week for a joyful movement and music class, which stimulates cognition, body awareness, social skills, and coordination. Individual student development is tracked using Florida's Early Learning and Developmental Standards. These are shared with families twice a year during Parent-Teacher Conferences, though families may request a conference at any time.
