Infant Program
A shoe-free environment built for little explorers
Our bootie- or sock-only policy is one of the first things you’ll notice about our infant classroom. As soon as your infant is ready to start crawling and scooting around, it’s important to give them the freedom to explore. A shoe-free environment keeps their little hands and mouth safe from germs and dirt while they discover the world.
No Choking Here!!!
Keeping cribs free and clear
We keep cribs clear of items like pillows and toys and use a firm mattress with a tight-fitting sheet. Our cribs are personalized with your infant’s name and picture.
Flexible feeding schedules to fit your infant's needs
Whether you breastfeed or bottle-feed, we’ll keep your infant fed, happy, and healthy. We have policies to carefully label and separate breast milk and formula. And you’re always welcome to stop in on a break to feed your baby!
Group time
Infants come together as a group every day for songs, story books, and plenty of time to interact with their friends and teachers.
Outdoor playtime
Most of our classes spend 20–30 minutes outside at least twice a day, weather permitting—including infants. Outdoor playtime is so much fun for infants, and it helps them grow up big and strong
Yes, we have a curriculum for infants, too!
Infant Curriculum
Every day, our creative teachers guide infants through fun activities that are just right for their age. Infants imitate actions like moving toy vehicles in specific ways and copying the sounds they make. Infants explore their senses by touching and feeling everyday items.
We build lots of early literacy activities into our day. We read tons of books, point and name objects (Table, Chair, Car, & Ball etc.), listen to their baby babble, and talk plus make sounds back to them
To help their creative side develop, we touch and feel different textures (like sticky and soft), express feelings through movement, listen to music, and play toy instruments.
We practice memory skills, engage all five senses, and copy simple actions—all to help build baby’s brain power. Wherever your infant is at developmentally, our caring teachers support their physical milestones.
Emotional safety is so important for infants. That’s why our teachers give plenty of cuddles and help them express emotions through sounds, facial expressions, and movements. They also begin to make friends with other babies and teachers.
Sample Daily Rhythm for our Infant Classrooms
Daily schedules are developed with the following in mind; Matching the age and abilities of the children, outdoor time, both structured and unstructured, every day, and at least two large blocks of time for child-directed learning. These include; Morning and Afternoon Group Time, Small-Group Activities, Morning and afternoon child-directed learning in learning centers, Outdoor play and activities, Snack and meals, and Rest time.
Here are examples of activities we do together as a group or with a teacher
We come together to sing songs, read books, and discover new things about the world!
Cuddle time & Outdoor play
Infants in our classrooms get lots of one-on-one time with teachers. Every day, infants go outside into the fresh air to explore nature.
We follow your infant’s natural rhythm
Once your infant moves into the toddler classroom, they’ll begin a daily rhythm as a class. For now, how your infant spends their day with us has a lot to do with their natural rhythm at home
