Welcome to
our SMART EQ® Infant Program, where your child thrives in a nurturing
environment fostering self-discovery and emotional awareness. Our dedicated
team cultivates strong bonds with your little one, ensuring they feel secure
and cherished. Together, we lay the foundation for your child's confidence and
eagerness to explore and learn. We prioritize open communication, partnering
with families to support your child's growth and development. Parent/therapist
conferences are held biannually to discuss your child's developmental
milestones.
Our SMART®
curriculum prioritizes responsive daily routines and tailored experiences to
foster your child's growth. These routines are not only the cornerstone of your
child's day but also of their learning journey. Consistent, nurturing
interactions during activities like hellos, diapering, meals, naps, and
dressing build trust and facilitate experiential learning. Our dedicated
teaching staff collaborates with you to maintain and enhance the schedule
established during your baby's early weeks or months.
SMART EQ® Child Development Program
The SMART
EQ® Child Development Program, crafted and delivered by trained Child
Development Specialists and Therapists, is specifically designed for infants
aged 6 months to 18 months and toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years.
For infants,
our program focuses on fostering early social, cognitive, and motor skills
through interactive play, sensory exploration, and nurturing interactions. We
provide parents with strategies to enhance communication, promote bonding, and
support their baby's overall development. Through guided activities and expert
guidance, parents and caregivers learn to create a stimulating and supportive
environment that encourages their infant's curiosity and growth.
For
toddlers, our program emphasizes building independence, language skills, and
emotional regulation. We offer age-appropriate activities that stimulate
creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction. Parents receive guidance
on positive discipline, effective communication, and fostering autonomy in
their toddler's daily routines. Our program encourages parents to embrace their
child's growing independence while providing a safe and supportive environment
for exploration and learning.
With the
SMART Child Development Program, parents can feel confident and empowered in
nurturing their child's development during these critical early years.
