The Star Room

The Star room is our young infant room. Students are on an individualized routine that meets their needs of feeding, napping, floor-time play, and diapering at intervals that match each child’s natural rhythm. We are focused on relationships and security through acts of caregiving. Our outdoor time will mostly be walks around the neighborhood, and we will offer a variety of taste-safe material to explore during play time.
