Infant Programs
(6 weeks to 18 months)
Our Infant program is a very special program designed to afford our infants security and warmth essential to bonding and establishing a loving relationship of trust and overall comfort. Our Infant teachers are specially educated in this very delicate period of development, with a keen sense of the physical and emotional needs and tendencies of our babies.Our Infant environments are prepared to be as homelike and nurturing as possible, with areas that support the infant's strong, natural desire for movement and exploration. The program is rich in language and sensory-motor stimulation to enhance overall cognitive, as well as physical development, which is rapid during this very critical period. Our Infant teachers work very closely with parents, as partners, in all areas of Infant care and as an on-going resource in all areas of parental needs.
