our programs

Every Classroom at IPELC includes:
Weekly lesson plans aligned with monthly themes and milestones
Daily updates and photos through our parent app
Bi-annual parent-teacher conferences
A no-screen-time environment
Bilingual teachers who incorporate Spanish throughout the day
Infants
6 weeks–14 months
Our infant program provides full- and part-time care for babies from 6 weeks old. Our trained teachers create strong bonds with each infant in this nurturing environment, offering responsive care that ensures your little one feels safe and loved. We focus on interactive care and play to help infants reach their milestones and standards for child development.
-
We create a well-organized space with age-appropriate toys and soothing background music, helping babies feel comfortable as they explore and grow.
-
While they may be emotionally soothing for babies, swings, bouncy chairs, and exersaucers limit interaction with caregivers and classmates, hindering playtime and gross motor development. Our program emphasizes freedom of movement. We avoid stationary equipment to encourage natural development and promote interaction with caregivers and peers.
-
Safe, open spaces allow babies to develop critical physical skills. Our environment supports natural progression through milestones like sitting, reaching with accuracy, pushing up, crawling, cruising, standing unsupported, and walking.
-
We work closely with parents to establish individual nap, feeding, and play schedules. Our teachers provide comforting, one-on-one attention when babies need soothing, holding and comforting them when they are upset and ensuring each child receives the love and attention they need throughout the day.
-
We use baby sign language to help infants communicate before they can speak. Simple gestures reduce frustration and build confidence as little ones begin to express their needs.
Toddlers
15 months–2 years
In our toddler program, we embrace this exciting age’s boundless energy and curiosity. Our highly trained teachers channel this enthusiasm into learning experiences that support all areas of development, whether climbing, catching, or crawling, to support motor skills development, encouraging language development through reading and the introduction of first words.
We create personalized lesson plans that engage each child in activities promoting physical, cognitive, social/emotional, and language growth. Through play-based learning, toddlers develop essential skills while exploring the world around them.

Our responsive teachers guide toddlers as they navigate newfound independence, helping them understand and manage their emotions while learning to interact with others.
-
Our teachers use many creative ways to help develop your child’s language skills and vocabulary. They range from reading books and short stories and using descriptive words to playing music and fingerplays and introducing them to new words daily.

Our program for two- and three year-olds celebrates their blossoming independence and insatiable curiosity. We create an environment where these eager learners can safely explore, experiment, and discover.
