Apply NowPreschool & Daycare Serving Chico, CA and Butte County
Our infant program is offered year-round and is the perfect place for all babies 2 months – 2 years of age. Because we believe that infants need a substantial amount of exclusive attention, we only offer 8 full-time enrollment spots, along with several part time spots. We are always accepting applications and have an active waitlist once all spots are filled. The infant center is located in our private glassed-in classroom to ensure sanitation and safety as the babies learn to crawl and walk around.
Activities for Babies
In the first year of life, there is a more rapid change in babies than at any other period. Activities can be used to assist in building up a baby’s muscle strength, motor skills, emotional and social growth, and more.
Activities for babies include:
- Baby chatter
- Making music
- Singing
- Gentle playing
We encourage anyone who might be interested to stop by today and see our wonderful infant center! Call or come by today for a personalized tour of our baby room!
F.A.Q.
What types of activities do you offer for your children?
We provide age-appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, to stimulate the minds of our children, and to promote motor and social skill development. We use paints, glitter, play dough, glue, chalk, books, sensory tables with beans, rice, water, snow, dirt, noodles and more. Our children stay very busy throughout the day.
Do you welcome parent involvement? Can I stop by unannounced?
The answer to both is a resounding, “YES!” Our school is a community that embraces the whole family. If you’d like to get an inside look at your child at play or in the classroom, you are more than welcome to stop by anytime. We also encourage parents to come in and talk about their careers, help with projects at home that need to be completed and returned, lending objects of units of study and anything else that will help get parents involved.
What if someone other than my spouse/partner or me has to pick up my child?
In order to protect your child, we require that you provide the names of any individual who has permission to pick up your child. We require advance notice from you when someone other than a family member will be picking up your child and will check identification. If we have any questions or concerns, we ask that you are available via cell phone to provide confirmation.
What will my child be learning in your preschool?
We introduce the fundamentals of Arithmetic, Art, Reading, Writing, Music, and Science, Math, Cooking and other fun activities that are all theme based.
What is your policy regarding sick children?
In order to keep our children, their families and our staff as healthy as possible, we require that any child with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or contagious disease be kept at home.
Do you provide meals and snacks?
Yes! In fact, we maintain a commercial kitchen and a full-time chef so that we can prepare and serve nutritious, home-cooked meals and snacks for children. Parents are welcomed to provide snacks and lunch for their child if they'd prefer.
