Birds classroom

Laying the foundation for early growth through care, connection, and language

In the Birds Classroom, our youngest learners—ages 6 to 17 months—are gently supported as they navigate their earliest developmental milestones. Our nurturing environment is designed to promote sensory exploration, secure attachment, and the beginning of communication and mobility.

Teachers in the Birds Classroom use the CDC’s developmental milestones as a guide to support each child’s individual growth. This includes helping infants and young toddlers:

Develop strong head and neck control
Begin crawling, pulling to stand, or taking first steps
Engage in social smiles, babbling, and responding to their names
Show interest in familiar people, toys, and routines

Through our bilingual curriculum, children are immersed daily in two core languages, typically English and a second language, through songs, stories, and interactive play. In addition, they are exposed to basic Arabic and Arabic dialect phrases to help build early listening and recognition skills in multiple languages.

We follow Virginia state licensing standards to ensure the highest level of care and supervision: 6 to 16 months: 1 teacher for every 4 children

Our experienced team is dedicated to fostering curiosity, safety, and joy during these important first steps

Our bilingual curriculum introduces children to two core languages—typically English and a second language—through songs, storytime, and everyday routines. Children are also gently exposed to basic Arabic and familiar dialects through greetings, classroom phrases, and simple vocabulary, supporting early language awareness and cultural connection.
