Infants
We understand that for many of you, this will be your first experience with placing your baby in childcare. Please note our main goal is to communicate with you on a daily basis to give your baby the best opportunity to grow and flourish in his/her own unique way.
Our curriculum will encourage your baby to:
- Establish trusting relationships
- Explore
- Problem solve
- Express themselves through movement
- Build self-confidence
We are here to offer your baby a stimulating and loving environment, not a stressful one. Your baby’s needs and safety are our first priority.
During the first year, we believe that infants need to be nurtured and loved through physical touch and language, for example: rocking, being held and caressed, being talked and sung to, etc.
It is important that your child’s developmental goals (gross & fine motor, language/intellectual, and social/emotional) are enhanced. Infants learn by exploring the world around them. In the areas of gross and fine motor development, your baby will enjoy movement activities and sensory activities. Your baby’s language/intellectual areas will be enjoyed through one-on-one conversations, songs, finger plays, and books. In the areas of social/emotional development, your baby will experience playing with other babies and experience his/her teacher talking with him/her about what he/she is seeing throughout the day.
Through all of these activities, teachers will be able to help your baby integrate his/her senses and will give your child the tools to help him/her be successful in his/her surroundings.
