WELCOME TO THE INFANT & TODDLER PROGRAM

Infants - Under 3 Years Old

Early Childhood at Congressional begins with our infant and toddler program for children ages 6 weeks to 3 years, and is much more than a day care. Our infant & toddler program is specifically designed to nurture the physical, emotional, and cognitive needs of young children. Emphasis is given to language development, fine and gross motor skills, self-awareness, building relationships with others, exploring the environment, and preparation for our advanced academic program beginning in preschool.

When parents see their children on daily walks enjoying the beauty of nature, or when they see their children sharing and playing with others, they get a glimpse of some of the things that make our Infant & Toddler program special – but when they see the chemistry that grows between the children and their caregivers, they understand just how special.
