Toddler Classrooms at Heartworks
A Safe, Cozy Environment for Your Baby’s First Discoveries
6 weeks to 15 months
A baby’s first year is a time of extraordinary growth—physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Our infant classrooms are intentionally designed as peaceful, home‑like spaces filled with developmentally appropriate materials that invite exploration without over-stimulation.
Soft textures, gentle lighting, and open floor areas allow infants to move freely and safely as they begin to roll, crawl, reach, and sit. Every element of the environment supports comfort, security, and confidence—laying the groundwork for lifelong learning.
Growing Minds and Moving Bodies
Learning in infancy happens through relationships, movement, and meaningful play. At Heartworks, our educators support early cognitive development by engaging infants in responsive interactions that build memory, recognition, problem‑solving skills, and an understanding of cause and effect.
We place a strong emphasis on physical development as well. With open, uncluttered spaces and no stationary devices, infants are encouraged to strengthen both fine and gross motor skills—from grasping and reaching to crawling and sitting upright. These early movements help build coordination, body awareness, and confidence.
Natural Movement = Natural Learning
At Heartworks, we believe that movement is one of the earliest and most powerful ways infants learn. That’s why our infant classrooms are designed to give children the space and freedom to safely explore their world—at their own pace.
We don’t place infants into forced positions, and we don’t rely on bouncers, gates, or restrictive equipment. Instead, we create open, thoughtfully prepared environments where babies are free to roll, reach, stretch, crawl, and move naturally.
These early movements aren’t just physical milestones—they are how infants build body awareness, problem‑solving skills, confidence, and curiosity. When babies are free to move, they are free to learn through discovery.
Strong Bonds, Secure Attachments
Infants thrive when they feel safe, seen, and deeply connected. Our educators prioritize consistent, loving relationships, responding to each child with warmth, attentiveness, and care. These secure attachments form the emotional foundation children need to explore their world with confidence.
By working closely with families, we establish daily routines that closely mirror your baby’s schedule at home—supporting smooth transitions, emotional security, and trust between home and school.
Early Communication and Language Development
Even before they can speak, infants are powerful communicators. In our language‑rich infant classrooms, educators engage babies through talking, singing, reading, facial expressions, and simple sign language.
Through these daily interactions, infants begin to develop early communication skills, listening awareness, and emotional expression—building the foundation for later language and literacy development.
Sensory Exploration that Sparks Curiosity
Babies learn about the world through their senses. Our infant program incorporates gentle sensory experiences—including textures, sounds, visuals, and movement—that help infants make sense of their surroundings and strengthen early brain connections.
Each experience is thoughtfully chosen to support exploration while honoring each child’s individual comfort level and developmental pace.
Partnering With Families Every Step of the Way
At Heartworks, we believe early education is a partnership. We work closely with families to support each child’s unique needs, sharing daily insights and milestones so you always feel connected to your baby’s day.
Our goal is to create a seamless, supportive experience—where children, parents, and educators grow together.
Hear from our families
We adore Heartworks Williston! The patience and kindness of each Preschool teacher, the thoughtful and caring curriculum, the art projects, the French classes, the social-emotional learning lessons...the community of families...I could go on and on! My son comes home happy every day. Heartworks has exceeded all of my expectations for a preschool experience for our almost-kindergartener!
Our 4 year old son has been attending loveworks since he was 4 months old and our new little guy started a few months ago. All of the teachers are fabulous. Fin and Josie have created a loving and fun learning preschool environment that our son is thriving in. The infant room teachers are caring and friendly, we know our baby is happy and loved!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Heartworks Williston! My daughter has been coming here since she was about 8 months old and she is now 4 1/2. All of the teachers have been wonderful there! It is a wonderful community and we couldn't be happier.
We have only been at Loveworks for a few weeks but we feel very comfortable leaving our little one with Faith and Riley in the infant room. They are both warm and loving teachers, and it’s clear they care for the infants as if they were their own. We also really like Melanie, the director. She is very friendly and welcoming, and responds promptly to any questions or emails. It’s hard to leave your baby in the care of someone else, but we are really happy with Loveworks!
Our family absolutely loves Heartworks. Our first child has been attending since she was 4 months old. We feel so lucky to send our kids to Heartworks. All of the teachers have been nurturing, caring, and professional. Our daughter has blossomed under their care. So excited for our second child to have the Heartworks experience too.
