TJB enrolls children from 0 through 24 months old.
If you are looking for care for 2-5 year olds and/or after school care for school age children, please click the button below to check out our NEW program The Journey Continues, located in Highland Park.
Play:
TJB is a play-based program. Play-based is a learning approach that uses play as a central part of the learning process. It’s based on the idea that children learn BEST when they’re actively engaged and exploring in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Play is valued and encouraged. We believe that children learn best when they are motivated by their own curiosity and innate desire to discover, know, and understand. We provide children with a variety of concrete, hands-on opportunities for learning. We stress a cooperative approach and nurture creativity.
Daily Communication:
Communication is KEY to our partnership with your family! We use an app for all parent information, including sign in & out, daily routines and information such as feedings, diaper changes, observations of your child’s mood and behavior, provide pictures & videos and MORE! We feel it is important and encourage you to ask questions regarding your child’s activity, nutrition, growth and development at any time.
How Enrollment Works:
The Journey Begins follows a traditional school year. Our oldest children age out of our program and go off to preschool. Our largest enrollment period is in the Fall, with a mid-late August start date. We will also enroll year-round to accommodate families and fill any openings immediately.
Philosophy:
Our philosophy/vision incorporates a safe and stimulating environment that enriches the
children through these important first years. We incorporate open communication between
staff and parents.
The Journey Begins (TJB) knows that each child is an individual and needs to be treated as such.
Children begin care at all stages of development and we will guide them through these stages
and build upon them.
Flexibility of the program is important, as the needs of infants are constantly changing and
developing. A positive and happy staff, a trusting relationship between caregiver and the child,
clean and well-organized environment, room to play, indoors and outside, in a safe and
stimulating environment.

Our mission/vision incorporates a safe and stimulating environment that enriches the children through these important first years. We incorporate open communication between staff and parents. Parents are always welcome to visit their child, come for feedings or nursing, or as their schedules allows.*
TJB provides a nurturing environment where children can grow and develop physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. Children learn through their play and age-appropriate activities, S.T.E.A.M., toys, and developmental milestones.
Our goal is to always provide the children in our care a clean, safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can play and grow.
*Covid protocols may prohibit parents on campus due to Public Health & Safety as well as licensing guidelines.
