Infant Curriculum
Welcome to our nurturing and enriching Infant Classrooms, where our dedicated caregivers provide personalized attention and consistent care.
​
​Parents can trust their infants will get the tender, gentle, and loving care they need to thrive.
Encouraging Exploration and Growth. In this warm and supportive environment, infants embark on a journey of growth and exploration. Our caregivers understand the unique needs of each child and create tailored experiences to promote their developmental milestones.
​
Fine and Gross Motor Skills. With a low ratio of children per caregiver, we ensure that each infant receives the individual attention necessary for their well-being and development. Our caregivers are experienced in fostering important relationships and creating a nurturing atmosphere.
Building Emerging Communication Skills. The use of “baby signs” helps infants learn to communicate their needs without frustration. Baby signing also creates a foundation for language skills and back and forth interaction.
​
Classroom Activities Include:
-
Science. Open-ended, hands-on, sensory play engages infants’ natural curiosity, encouraging creative expression, self-awareness, motor skills and language development.
-
Creative Arts. Painting, drawing and collage introduce children to colors, shapes, lines and textures. Musical experiences introduce rhythm, rhyme and melody, the precursors to conversation.
-
Math. Blocks, toys, songs and books are coupled with meaningful interactions with caregivers to introduce early math concepts.
-
Wellness. Feeding, diapering and other caregiving routines are unique opportunities to support babies' well-being.
-
Language Arts. Through songs, stories and caregiving routines, teachers model language and introduce vocabulary, demonstrate conversation and provide nurturing responses to infants.​
Example Activities
This month, we explored colors through streamers that we decorated areas with. We strategically placed the streamers in the classroom to promote and assist the children with their gross motor skills and get their bodies moving. For some, this activity was great to get them into a standing position either on their own or with assistance, and at the same time it promoted sensory exploration through textures as well as allowing us a simple way to review and identify our colors and build our Math development.
