Infants learn a lot about the world around them through their senses, which is why exploration is critical to their development. We have designed our classrooms with safety in mind and filled them full of engaging toys and activities that offer a whole range of sensory experiences. Both rooms can welcome twelve infants from birth to 24 months.
Our Infant Program is designed to care, nurture and stimulate infants cognitively through individual routines, physical development and health, language and social emotional learning. Each infant is assigned a certified educator. That educator will have 4 children in her care. From the child’s first day the educator will work in partnership with parents with the goal of ensuring consistent care and a trusting reciprocal relationship with families. Personal care routines (toileting, feeding, and napping experiences) with a child’s assigned educator builds a secure and trusting relationship by fulfilling the infants need for unhurried, one to one dialogue and warm individual attention.
