CURRICULUM THAT INSPIRES AT EVERY AGE
Inspire Infant & Toddler Care uses Creative Curriculum to guide our daily activities and engagement with little ones.
For infants, Creative Curriculum (0-12 months) supports the importance of trusting relationships. By helping infants establish and sustain positive relationships, they begin to engage more broadly with their world. Expressing themselves in a variety of ways includes the beginning of using vocabulary by exhibiting vocalizations.
Toddlers advance in their developmental milestones (12-36 months) as the Creative Curriculum reinforces the importance of healthy social-emotional growth, communication, motor and pre-academic skills.
