Nido Program
Ages 3-18 months | A Tender Beginning for Your Infant
Our Nido (Italian for "nest") program provides a safe, nurturing environment where infants can explore their world with confidence. We honor each child's natural development through carefully prepared spaces and gentle, responsive care.
Program Overview
The Nido environment is specifically designed for infants who are not yet walking. Our program focuses on freedom of movement, sensory exploration, and building trust through consistent, loving care.
Infants learn through their senses and develop at their own pace. Our trained guides observe each child carefully, providing activities and materials that support their current stage of development.
