Infant Program
We believe learning starts at birth! Infants learn, grow, explore, discover and develop from everything in the world around them every minute of the day! Our infant caregivers provide our infants with a calm, loving, positive environment they feel safe and comfortable in.
Our caregivers provide opportunities to grow physically, emotionally, Intellectually & socially by:
- Working to develop their small muscles thru various activities
- "Tummy Time” that will eventually encourage rolling over and crawling and strengthen their neck muscles.
- Playing simple games like peek-a-boo to encourage their natural curiosity and to introduce them to the world of “play”
- Singing songs and using finger plays to help with their language development. Infants will start imitating sounds and facial expressions from the caregiver, so these types of activities help develop them in a fun way.
- Using care-giving routines that happen through the day as a time for learning and also helps in developing a relationship between child and caregiver.
- Older infants will sometimes do creative art projects that will help with developing fine motor muscles such as finger painting; with baby safe paint or even use pudding or whipped cream for sensory, and gluing small pieces of paper onto larger paper and other simple fun & creative learning experiences.
