Infant/Toddler (0-3 years)

During the first few years of life, children grow and change in incredible ways — and we’re here to support every step of that journey.

Using Creative Curriculum, our teachers thoughtfully plan weekly lessons that nurture each child’s unique strengths, while also encouraging growth as part of a group. It’s truly amazing to watch each child blossom — building new skills, discovering the world around them, and becoming more confident every day. Here are a few transformations you may see between infancy through age three:

  • Soft coos and babbles gradually form into meaningful words and full sentences
  • Joyful smiles that grow into laughter of pure delight
  • Tiny feet taking their first steps, evolving from curiosity to confident walking
  • Curious hands and eyes uncovering the excitement of new discoveries
  • A steady rise in independence, self-confidence, and personal capability
“As a parent, it’s never easy to trust someone with your child’s care, but the Yellow Springs Community Children’s Center has made it feel effortless from the very beginning. The love, patience, and attention each teacher shows her every day means the world to us. The staff’s communication, kindness, and genuine care go far beyond what we ever expected. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing she’s learning, growing, and surrounded by people who truly care about her. As parents, there’s no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, safe, and loved when she’s away from home.”
