Infants/Caterpillar

 

Walking, talking, laughing, developing, and learning

Using a curriculum that combines the following domains: physical and health, social and emotional, cognitive, linguistic, and creative arts, our objective is to create a secure environment while your child grows and develops. Infants engage in activities that help them get ready for their surroundings. The youngsters are assisted as they progress physically, from lying on their stomachs to sitting up to crawling and taking their first steps. The kids are exposed to sign language used by our educators as a way of communication while honing their language abilities. The children learn to engage with other kids and trust kind people as they adjust to their new environment, which is crucial for their social and emotional growth. The infants develop their senses via enjoyable sensory activities.
Our Infant room services include:
  • Singing
  • Sleep: Nap time is 12:00 – 2:30 p.m. Babies can start sleeping on mats around 12 months old when we start taking them. Therefore, we provide mats for naps. Parents must bring a blanket and a mat sheet.
  • Language Improvement and Sound Mimicry: Our early childhood educators use sign language to interact with students who are not yet able to speak. Through this, Infants learn to connect a hand or arm motion with their needs or desire. As they learn to speak, this offers our smallest children a feeling of security and control over their surroundings. Families are urged to use Baby Signs at home to enhance language development.
  • Furniture and all equipment in their rooms are age appropriate
  • Exercise: A big rubber tile highly secured open space playground is on the second floor on a BIG deck.
  • Development of the sight and touch senses
  • Playtime, and hand-eye coordination

For parents, weekly lessons are posted in the room. We believe that your child’s growth is greatly influenced by the relationship between home and childcare. Your child’s development is monitored by our educators throughout the year, and you will have the chance to meet with them twice a year to talk about it after getting a progress report. Teachers can talk about all of your child’s accomplishments throughout the year at these meetings.
