Hi, I’m Canyon Yargus.

My name is Canyon Yargus

My Classroom

Our Infant Room is a calm, loving, and responsive environment designed to meet the unique needs of children from 6 weeks to 2 years old. We focus on building strong, secure relationships through consistent care, gentle interactions, and individualized attention. Our caregivers work closely with families to follow each child’s feeding, sleeping, and care routines while supporting healthy development at every stage.

Learning in the Infant Room happens through nurturing interactions, sensory exploration, movement, music, and play. We support early physical, social-emotional, and language development while introducing faith-based values through gentle prayer, Christian music, and loving care that reflects God’s love.

Our goal is for every infant to feel safe, comforted, and cherished while growing in trust, curiosity, and confidence.
