Infant Room
6 weeks - 16 months

Parents and teachers will work together to develop an appropriate schedule for each individual infant.
Our teachers’ priority is to make your newborn feel safe, comfortable, happy and loved while mom and dad are away at work. Teachers will respond to the needs of the individual child to ensure they are receiving the best care needed to develop and improve their social and emotional development.
Teacher-child interactions and communication are extremely important!! Basic baby sign language will be used regularly. Teachers sing songs, read books, & show picture books to build association between words and objects…building their language and literacy development.
Age appropriate materials and equipment are available to improve infants’ mobility and coordination. Starting with tummy time to improve those neck muscles, to rolling over, crawling, sitting, standing, walking, and climbing. Teachers also encourage infants through sensory materials. A variety of materials is provided in all different colors, sizes, shapes, and textures. Learning through all five senses is the goal of our teachers. Infants learn through experiences, not strict lesson plans. Teachers do age appropriate art activities. Music and movement are also a huge part of a child’s development so singing and dancing will be a major part of the infants’ day.
