Transition / "Flamingos"

12 - 23 months

When your little Flamingo is standing in our infant nest but not quite ready to fly with the toddlers they will be welcomed into our Transition room. Your child will receive the same responsive loving care as the Owlets but offered more space to spread their wings here. The Creative Curriculum Gold assessments will allow our educators to know when the time is right for moving into this more developmentally appropriate environment. This is an especially valuable time in development, and we want to let each child grow and learn at their own pace.

In this program, your Flamingo will experience:

Personalized Care & Attention – Low caregiver-to-infant ratio ensures individualized support
Safe & Comfortable Sleep Areas – Cozy cribs and peaceful nap times following your baby’s routine
Tummy Time & Motor Skill Development – Encouraging movement, strength, and coordination
Music & Storytime – Gentle songs, soothing sounds, and interactive storytelling
Sensory Play Activities – Soft textures, colorful toys, and engaging experiences to enhance development
Daily Reports & Parent Communication – Regular updates on feedings, diaper changes, naps, and milestones
