Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®

I’m Ms. Samantha Filio. I wanted to tell you a little about myself.
I was born and raised in Ohio and am a huge Buckeye fan! I have been a mom for over 20 years, but before that, I was everyone’s favorite babysitter!

Our family has been fostering young children for over 15 years! We are so fortunate to be able to help children who need all the love we have to give!
