BEAUTIFUL BABIES
Our infant classroom is considered “Sacred Ground” since these are the tender months when our teachers set the foundation for the child’s experience in our learning center. Our teachers take time to get to know each child individually, providing them with interaction and meeting their daily needs.
What will my child’s day look like?
Social: Teacher prompts and routines help infants begin to understand their world and cope with changes.
Emotional: Coping skills are the foundation for learning self-control. When teachers try different strategies to soothe an infant, it teaches the infant how to soothe themselves.
Physical: When in quiet, alert states and not fussy, they physically engage with teachers by grasping, rolling, and, later, crawling toward people and objects.
Cognitive: Infants use all their senses to interact and play differently. They may hold a toy key ring, look at it, mouth it, and shake it to hear the sound. The combination of all these actions gives them an understanding of the object.
Language: Infants feel secure in the care of familiar adults with familiar routines. Teachers use repetitive language throughout each day during greetings, stories, diapering, songs and departure.
