Infant & Toddler Center
Hathaway Brown’s coed Infant and Toddler Center cares for and educates children from six weeks to two years old whose parents are school faculty and staff, alumnae or members of the broader community.
The ITC has small class sizes and a low teacher-to-student ratio that significantly exceeds state standards.
From mid-August through early June, the ITC is open Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m with an optional summer program. A half-day program is available for our students in the two-year-old classrooms.
The ITC Experience
Learning & Growing
Student physical development and growth are enhanced through use of HB’s state-of-the-art playground, athletic facilities, and outdoor areas.
In addition, ITC students have Music and Movement class, library, and open gym weekly.
Skill Development
Experienced and well-trained teachers work one-on-one with students to practice receptive and expressive language and motor, cognitive, and social skills.
Water safety skills are taught in optional swim lessons, available at an additional cost.
Nature-Based Learning
Nature-based learning opportunities abound with HB’s on-campus Oliva Herb Garden, Doan Creek, Bird Sanctuary, and nearby Courtland Woods.
Conscious Discipline
ITC teachers use the Conscious Discipline philosophy to create a positive, self-regulating environment for children that enhances social-emotional learning.
Lunchtime
Following HB’s Food Philosophy, nutritious meals and healthy snacks are prepared for ITC students daily in the onsite kitchen.
Exploring Campus
Children explore HB’s 16-acre campus with access to a wide range of educational opportunities, including listening to the Middle and Upper School Orchestra, cheering during swimming and diving practice, and watching dancers and actors rehearse their routines.
