Welcome to School!
</h3>
<div class="fonts">
Chai Preschool & Infant Center offers an early childhood learning experience for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old! <br/>We specialize in children!! We are the "home-away-from-home". Within our wonderful and loving atmosphere, we strive to develop and instill a love for learning that will be the foundation of their educational career. We do this through music/movement, using our outstanding curriculum that brings language and science together. Our social skills program helps the children be aware of themselves, their feelings, and those around them. We have a perfect balance of academics, social skills, and fun!! In our infant center, our goal is to build and develop a secure and trusting relationship with your baby, which is a primary task for infants. Our infant program builds cognitive, language, gross motor skills, and social skills. In this classroom, there is no "daily" schedule; we run on your baby's time!

Going back to work and leaving your four month old baby with anyone is hard, but the exceptional teachers at Chai made the transition as comfortable and as smooth as possible.<br/><br/>After touring a number of schools, none could compete with the first impression I got from infant room teacher Shanna. From a two minute conversation, I could instantly tell she was warm, personable, and kind. That day, the classroom was dim and calm, with white noise humming in the background. I knew my daughter would be in great hands and in a great environment. I was sold then, and after 8+ months of my daughter attending the school, I'm even more so.<br/><br/>I'm sure varying levels of chaos ensue throughout the day (especially with my high needs baby in the mix!), but Shanna and toddler room teachers Jasmin and Brittney manage it all gracefully. They are just fantastic. Communicative, thoughtful, endlessly patient, and most importantly, they've really treated (and continue to treat) my daughter like one of their own. Everyone is flexible and willing to adapt to parents' desires as to naps, feeding, etc. And I love receiving photos and videos throughout the day of my baby playing, preparing masterful pieces of art, and getting her naps in.<br/><br/>I'm so happy to have found Chai. They truly provide my husband and I with peace of mind that our baby is getting wonderful and loving care.
