Infant Care

infantmom.avif

6 Weeks – 12 Months

Your baby will explore and grow in a nurturing, loving environment that provides the warmth and security your little one is used to receiving at home.

 

Your baby will have a designated primary teacher in our nursery, your main point of contact for questions related to your baby’s day, progress, infant care and development.

 

Your teacher will work with you to provide consistency with your existing feeding, playing and sleeping schedules

Baby

Focus

  • Relationships

  • Trust

  • Attachment and sensory exploration. 

Classroom

  • Infants learn through responsive caregiving and nurturing relationships. Teachers follow each child’s individual schedule and respond to cues to build a strong foundation for learning.
     

  • Your baby’s brain is developing at an amazing rate, so our infant classroom is all about brain function and cognitive development.
     

  • Our infant teachers build strong relationships with your baby through conversations, interactions, and responsive care routines.
     

  • Our curriculum supports your baby’s growth in language, fine motor skills, analytical skills, creativity, communication, and social integration, and helps your baby achieve important developmental milestones.
     

  • Tummy time helps develop your baby’s arm, chest, and neck muscles and promotes social bonding.
     

  • In our nursery, we do not have many jumpers, or Bumbo seats. This is intentional. For optimal brain and physical development, your baby needs to move. When babies spend their days contained in devices, it can have a negative impact on their physical, social-emotional, and learning well-being.
     

  • From a very young age, we provide clean, safe areas for tummy time and limit the use of bouncy seats and related devices.
