Infant
Program 
Grasping, clutching, rocking and crawling every moment with our youngest
students provides precious opportunities to set the stage for your
baby to achieve all important developmental milestones. Motor skills
and sensory exploration are promoted through touching, feeling and
listening. IPELC provides the perfect place for babies to play, laugh
and discover. Our specially designed infant rooms are a sanctuary
for babies to feel protected, relaxed and happy, even when they are
away from home for the first time.
Personal fixed side cribs, designated areas for changing and feeding, and a covered shoe only policy ensures clean spaces to play and rest. Simple games instill the idea of learning though play.
Our highly trained staff cuddles, sings and bonds with your baby until the moment they are ready to go home with their most important teacher, you.
Toddler
Care
If there is anything a toddler has lots of it's loads and loads of
energy! At IPELC, our highly trained teachers have learned how to
channel that energy. Whether it's climbing, catching or crawling to
support motor skills development, encouraging language development
through reading time and conversation, opening their eyes to discovering
new shapes and colors, or the rewards that come from caring for yourself.
