Assistant Teacher ​Infant/Toddler Program

​"The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth."

In the AGBMS-AEHI infant and toddler program, each child is nurtured as a unique individual, encouraged to explore in a beautiful, safe, and orderly space with materials carefully chosen for their educational purpose and sensory qualities. A critical opportunity for development, these first years of life are an extraordinary period of cognitive and emotional growth, brain development, and language acquisition.
