Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Our Infant Classroom Teachers & Staff
Courtney Cherrington
Hello Infant Families! My name is Ms. Courtney, and I’m so excited to be here. A little bit about me: I’ve been working in childcare for about 10 years, caring for children from infants all the way up to preschool. I truly have a passion for working with children and helping them learn and grow.
I’m currently finishing my degree in psychology and hope to become a counselor for adolescents in the future. I’m also very passionate about helping the youth in my community through mentoring and volunteering.
One of the things that brings me the most joy is being an aunt to my niece, Nylah, and my nephew, Cameron. I can’t wait to meet you all!

Well Hello! My name is Natasha and i would like to tell you a little about myself. Growing up, I had the privilege of helping raise my two wonderful siblings, which taught me so much about caring for children. Erom comforting them when they were upset to celebrating their milestones, these experiences gave me the patience, responsibility, and nurturing skills needed to support a child’s growth. It’s been a meaningful part of my life, and I’m excited to bring that same care and dedication to the children I work with. I’m enthusiastically excited to have the opportunity to work with your children and be a part of their daily learning and growth. Coming from another daycare, I bring experience in working with children of various ages, and it has always been a rewarding journey. It’s truly a wonderful experience to watch kids grow, learn new skills, and mature over time. I look forward to building strong connections with both the children and their families, creating a positive and nurturing environment.
