Infant Program (4 months to 1 year olds)

Our Infant program is designed to develop and reinforce each infant's individuality. Children participate in sensory-based learning experiences, while receiving positive, nurturing guidance. We know infants are constantly learning through observation. We provide fun activities that will help them build upon their social and emotional, communication, fine motor, gross motor and cognitive skills.

Social and Emotional Skills

We start by helping your infant become aware of other people, and move on to imitating hand and facial gestures. We also encourage infants to explore their emotions. Teachers spend time singing, playing with puppets, and dancing to make your child feel happy and secure.

Communication Skills

Our program contains many activities designed to increase your infant's communication skills, which include listening and making sounds. Infants observe themselves in a child-safe mirror as they make a variety of sounds, and they are spoken to constantly by their teachers. Older infants are encouraged to make animal sounds and to say the names of family members.

Fine Motor Skills

Infants' fine motor skills, which include finger and hand movements, need to be stimulated in many different ways in order for them to improve. We offer a wide variety of fine motor skill activities for your infant, from simply grasping a toy, to shaking a rattle, to scooping up finger foods.

Gross Motor Skills

Our program addresses all of your infant's gross motor skills, which include reaching for objects, pushing, pulling, kicking, sitting, crawling, cruising, and walking. Infants are encouraged to lie on their stomachs and look at and reach for books and toys to increase their core muscle strength. Infants may even participate in an obstacle course to motivate them to crawl or walk.

Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills are the foundation of learning and knowledge. Our program focuses on infants' explorations of their environment. Your infant will be encouraged to make associations based on prior knowledge and explore the concept of cause and effect by dumping out toys, building and knocking down towers, and manipulating stacking rings.
