Where education, care, and play unite.

All children are screened using Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) to ensure that they are developing at the rate as their same age peers. These screenings allow us to determine if the child needs further evaluations. If needed, we refer students to Early Intervention and work with different therapists so that children could receive services on site.

We provide free diapers, wipes and four different formulas for children to use while at the center.

We utilize the Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers to offer a nurturing, safe, child-centered environment in which the child leads based upon their natural curiosity.  The Baby Signs curriculum is used in our Infant rooms to enable children to communicate with their peers and teachers.  When the children turn two we introduce them to a play based curriculum called Engage NY for Math to introduce them to spatial concepts, geometric shapes, number concepts and fun finger plays. Through our Social Justice Curriculum we provide children with opportunities to see not only themselves, but also other people, cultures, perspectives and ideas.

To enhance our program, we often bring in puppet shows, petting zoos and other activities to ensure that our infants and toddlers are exposed to an array of resources that enhance brain development.

ITAV is proud to partner with Head Start, offering high-quality early childhood education, health services, and family support to help children thrive. Together, we’re creating a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
