It never ceases to surprise us how much babies grow during their first year.

INFANT

From the moment a baby is born he is ready to learn, and it is up to both parents and caregivers to ensure they maximize this amazing potential through stimulation.

Rocking, holding, feeding, singing, and playing are just a few of the ways we help your babies develop emotionally, physically, and intellectually. Our teachers take the time to develop a special bond with your baby, which will allow them to understand the cues they are given.

Has she discovered her hands? 

Let’s dangle a toy above her and let her grab it, allowing her to work on gross motor skills.

Has he started babbling? 

This is the earliest stage of talking, let’s spend time reading and singing with him.

TRANSITION TO YOUNG TODDLER

Has he started crawling or taking his first steps? 

What a fun time for you and your little one. We know it feels like just yesterday they were newborns and spending most of the day sleeping, but now they are starting to develop a personality and are enthusiastic when it comes to discovering the world around them.

At HLC Kids Academy we want to make sure our young toddlers are given the opportunity to safely explore the classroom. We understand toddlers do not have a very long attention span; our teachers enjoy planning a variety of projects and games to encourage them to continue learning during their day with us.
