The Cradlerock Children's Center INFANTS & TODDLERS PROGRAM is aligned with The Creative Curriculum© and Maryland’s Healthy Beginnings Initiative. Leading research on cooperative early learning shows us that young children learn best when they are actively engaged in the process of creating and exploring the world around them. Children in our care benefit from active teaching strategies crafted to their individual needs. Even our youngest students learn independence through predictable routines and projects that interest them.
