Infants -
Bedford Discovery Infant Center is a fully dedicated separate infant care and development facility. We have a unique, special and exclusive focus on infants. This allows us to build and offer development programs tailored to meet the specific needs of children at their earliest and most critical stage of life. Our home-like atmosphere provides the ideal setting for nurturing infants. Daily communication between teachers and parents is practiced to maintain the highest degree of consistency between home and outside care giving. Teachers pay close attention to individual needs while providing a soothing yet interactive environment. Our teachers understand the importance of talking to and playing with infants as key factors in their development.
Toddlers
are encouraged to use all of their senses as they explore their
environment. Self-help and independence are nurtured, from coordination
and climbing, to self-feeding, toileting and simple dressing tasks.
Our teachers are endlessly patient experts whose hands are always
there for holding and who take great care to share in the excitement
of language explosion and physical growth.
Pre-School
is a time when the question, “why”, becomes increasingly
important, along with self-expression, decision-making, problem
solving and social interaction. At this stage of development learning
stations are introduced, offering a broad range of experiences that
promote readiness skills, language growth, and physical abilities
through the excitement of exploring the child’s ever-expanding
world.
After
school is an important time for children to unwind
and relax following a busy school day. Computers and games are available,
as are opportunities for arts and crafts, nature study, outdoor
fun and other creative outlets. After school hours are structured
yet flexible for older children to socialize and enjoy quiet activities
such as reading a favorite doing homework.
