Does your infant really need a sterile environment? Or a fancy, copyrighted program designed by experts who never change diapers?

As parents and teachers with years of experience in the field of early childhood development and education, we at MCC have known for years what infants need most for healthy development: nurturing and stimulating interaction with an energetic, attentive adult. A smiling face, plenty of conversation, individual attention and physical contact are the critical elements of excellent infant care. Our infant program provides these things and more! At MCC your infant has the best of both worlds. Our small, calm, home-like infant environment is supported by the resources of a larger center: beautiful outdoor play spaces, stimulating interaction with older siblings and loving, knowledgeable staff members, our social emotional development curriculum, and plenty of activities designed to encourage their emerging skills.

You'll see one of our infant teachers sitting on the floor, singing, chatting or engaging older infants in stacking blocks or rolling balls, for example. Our infant play space easily accommodates your growing infant's desire to be on the move, with safe, roomy, appropriate play areas and surfaces designed to support and challenge emerging gross motor skills. Manipulative play helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Literature, music and everyday conversation - with lots of repetition - engage your infant and help develop receptive and expressive language skills.

Overall a feeling of fun, lots of love and a balance of playfulness with quiet time, make your baby, and you, feel at home. We encourage family involvement and work closely with you, as parents, to be sure that your infant receives care you are confident of - just ask the many children and families who start out in our infant program and remain with us through the school age program. Our teachers are committed to providing excellent care for your infants.
