Peaceful Blessings
The Peaceful Blessings class is for children aged 6 weeks to 12 months, and is located in the red door. The Infant curriculum is an introduction to language, socialization, independent exploration, listening, developing cognitive and visual skills in a spiritually based environment. All are accomplished through a series of Infant stimulation activities, such as tracking, floor exercise, exploring numbers and alphabets, story reading, daily worship and praise and exploring the outdoor campus by taking buggy rides at least twice a week. While class officially starts daily at 9am, their daily schedule is kept flexible to adapt to the individual needs of each infant.
