Nurturing Future Innovators Today!

Early Bird Development Center offers the STREAMin³ curriculum, a curriculum focused on children and their learning, developed by the University of Virginia’s Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL).

Q

Infants

At Early Bird Development Center, infants never stop learning.  Infants develop motor skills, work on tummy time, and learn and interact with their peers and teachers. At this stage, infants learn to crawl, express their emotions and practice hand-eye coordination.  Our teachers will regularly read and sing songs to the infants and converse with them.  This helps the infants begin to understand what is being said and develop language skills.

STREAMin3 Application: Focus on sensory experiences, early communication, and fostering secure attachments.

Trainers (16 months - 2 years)
