Infants (Birth Thru 18 Months)
Babies are at an amazing and delightful stage in development, and make enormous social, cognitive and physical leaps. Our teachers spend lots of time cuddling and talking to your baby to instill trust and provide a healthy early learning environment for movement, exploration and communication. This stage is an important bonding time when our caregivers can help build the foundation for healthy self-esteem and a sense of confidence. Babies are often busy exploring the world around them, and we provide a range of experiences to expose them to a greater variety of stimuli.
Our Infant Program at Creative Learning Academy in Sugar Land and Rice Village is a loving and nurturing environment that focuses on our four areas of development:
- Physical health and Motor development
- Social and Emotional development
- Language and Communication Development

Pre-School (3 Year Olds)
The preschool years are often marked by large increases in creativity and self-expression. Preschoolers are also curious about everything that they see and hear. This is the time our teachers encourage imagination and teach social skills to help them adapt to a new environment filled with other kids. This is also an ideal time to engage in learning centers for math, science, dramatic play, music, and creative art to provide opportunities to balance both shared and independent learning experiences.
