Infant Daycare
12 Weeks - One Year & Walking
Children in our infant class are cared for lovingly by expert teachers, each according to his or her own individualized schedule. We ask parents to fill out an infant feeding plan to make sure each baby is nourished properly, according to parental instructions. Our low 4:1 ratio means that infants at SOWJS receive plenty of individualized attention!
Infancy is a Time of Discovery
Our youngest learners are born capable of so much - they communicate their needs and learn to trust the adults in their world through secure attachments when their needs are met. Infants are eager to explore their world and thrive on sensory input, positive interacations, and hands-on exploration of their world.
Flexible Schedule Options
After welcoming a new baby, not every family needs full time daycare right away. At SOWJS, families are able to choose the schedule that works best for their situation, and enrolled families can even take advantage of additional "drop-in" care as needed! With only 4 spots remaining in our infant room, we invite you to schedule your personalized tour today!
Toddler Childcare & 2's Preschool
One+ and Walking!
When children show us that they are ready to move up from the infant classroom, our toddler classroom awaits! This allows for even more exploration and looks more like a traditional preschool classroom - complete with blocks, books, a train table, puzzles, manipulatives, a dramtic play area and accessible art materials!
Independence and Community
Toddlers and Young 2's need to be able to take risks and experiment to learn about their world and their place within it. We go outside as long as it is safe - rain or shine - to give children the opportunity to experience weather, change and to learn flexibility. Even in our toddler class, the teachers are careful observers and researchers and make curricular choices based on the children's interests.
Small Class Size
Toddler Childcare: Our Toddlers enjoy a 5:1 ratio and our 2's follow a 6:1 ratio, both with a maximum group size of 10 children. We always follow the ratio of the youngest child in the group - which means we are able to give your child the individualized attention s/he deserves (which is critical as children begin toilet-learning)!
