The Learning Rooms

Now more than ever, researchers are confirming that children do their most important learning before the age of five. That’s why, in addition to lots of love and attention, everything we do at Baby Elephants involves early childhood development.

We begin with age-appropriate environments that encourage children to learn, play and explore. Books and blocks, puppets and paper. toys, you name it. There are sticks for counting, seeds for planting and places for exploring. If you’re a young child, you’ll find an endless assortment of activities that engage your interest and stimulate your mind. Baby Elephants- where your child will learn, play, and explore.

Baby Elephants believes hands-on experiences are most important. At the heart of every project and activity, there’s a specially trained teacher and an age-appropriate curriculum to lead the way, because children learn differently than adults, they need hands-on experiences and get-on-the-floor teachers. They need warmth and attention. 

They need enthusiasm and encouragement. Most of all, they need the joy and challenge of doing it themselves, that’s what helps children learn and grow, and that’s our mission at Baby Elephants.

An Environment for the Whole Child

Baby Elephants exclusive educational programs provide unlimited opportunities for the development of the whole child. There’s a unique curriculum for every age level, centered around age and stage appropriate and fun activities that help children develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.

In the classroom and on the playground, age-appropriate concepts are integrated into all aspects of play. Sometimes it’s through a game. Another time it’s through a song. Other times it’s through exploration. By providing children with activities that match their developmental needs and abilities, learning occurs easily and naturally.

Baby Elephants quality educational programs are comprised of:

  • Well-trained, caring teachers
  • A safe and sound environment
  • An early years curriculum based on age-appropriate learning activities

We have programs for every age level, including babies, toddlers and preschoolers. If you look closely, you’ll find that every activity, every procedure – even every toy – is designed to support the development and well-being of your child.
