infant curriculum overview

Here's What We Prioritize:

We understand the importance of secure attachment bonds for healthy development.
Our caregivers provide consistent, responsive care, meeting each infant's individual needs for comfort, security, and exploration.
We encourage close parent-child interactions through regular communication and open-door policies.

We offer a variety of sensory experiences to stimulate all of the senses:

Sight: Colorful mobiles, soft toys, and engaging visuals.
Sound: Music, nature sounds, and soft voices.
Touch: Different textures like soft blankets, crinkly toys, and sensory bins.
Taste: Age-appropriate foods and opportunities to explore tastes and textures.
Smell: Pleasant aromas like lavender or vanilla.

These experiences help infants learn about the world around them and develop their cognitive and motor skills.

We provide ample opportunities for physical activity and motor skill development:

Tummy time: Supervised tummy time is essential for strengthening neck, back, and core muscles.
Reaching and grasping: Offering age-appropriate toys that encourage reaching, grasping, and manipulating objects.
Crawling and cruising: Creating a safe and stimulating environment for infants to explore their mobility.

We foster language development through:
- Talking and singing: Engaging in frequent conversations and singing songs to infants.
- Reading aloud: Sharing age-appropriate books with infants.
- Using simple language: Communicating with infants using clear and concise language.
- Labeling objects: Naming objects and actions to expand infants' vocabulary.

We create a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes social-emotional development:

Group play: Encouraging social interaction and peer-to-peer play.
Emotional expression: Helping infants learn to express their emotions through words, gestures, and play.
Self-regulation: Supporting infants in developing self-soothing skills and managing their emotions.
