The Infant Program
Ages 6 weeks - 12 months
Important factors - Security, Attention, Stimulation
Very young children have a strong need to feel “comfortable” in their surroundings. Things such as routines, consistent physical surroundings and objects give the child a needed sense of security. Being an intensely developmental period, quality attention and stimulation will be provided, as well as fulfilling the child’s routine needs.
Infants will be separated from older children for their safety and security. They will be taken outside, weather permitting. Totally flexible programs within a general schedule will encourage motor development, speech development and social exploration. Feeding and nap schedules, along with necessary supplies (diapers, formula, etc.) will be provided by the parents. Communication between parents and staff on a daily basis is critical within the infant program. Therefore, please allow a few extra minutes when dropping off and picking up your child.
