Baby Bugs - Infant Daycare Program
We go above and beyond to create an inspiring safe early education childcare environment for our infants.
Our Infant Program helps little baby bugs get moving on a fast track to early learning! From 6 weeks until the walking stages, our teachers bond with your baby to foster a strong emotional connection so your little one feels safe and loved in this new environment. We spend quality time getting to know their individual needs so that we can collaborate with families to customize meal plans, daily developmental activities and give special attention during the times they’ll need it most.
Our curriculum is designed to help infants achieve their milestones through sensory, social and motor activities. Infant classrooms are cozy and filled with stimulating colors, textures and sounds to keep your baby bug actively engaged throughout the day. The Infant Program is broken into two classrooms for major phases: early infancy and transition to toddlerhood. When our babies begin taking steps, show assertion and more self-control, they are moved up to “Infant II” where they are more developmentally on track with other progressive little movers.
Milestones
Communicative
- Early language and literacy skills are displayed when babies listen, react and respond to verbal communication with their attention and body movements.
- Babbling, cooing, gurgling and laughing help to express their needs and wants.
- Listening to stories read aloud and studying the lips of a speaker prepares them to know how to form their first words phonetically.
Executive Function
- Early language and literacy skills are displayed when babies listen, react and respond to verbal communication with their attention and body movements.
- Babbling, cooing, gurgling and laughing help to express their needs and wants.
- Lisztening to stories read aloud and studying the lips of a speaker prepares them to know how to form their first words phonetically.
Cognitive
- Using senses to investigate their surroundings · Memorizing familiar sightings and faces · Learning through repetition · Displaying critical thinking skills by trying to figure out how things work · Beginning to understand the relationship between cause and effect
Social - Emotional
Teachers cuddle and spend one-on-one time with each baby so that they feel loved and begin to trust their environment. · Making friends and showing affection to others · Using body language, sounds and facial expressions to share their feelings · Showing separation anxiety
Creative Expression
- Noticing the contrast between different color hues · Exploring textures, sounds and tastes to develop a preference · Gathering and combining objects in attempts to create · Enjoying and moving to music
Physical Development and Wellness
- Learning to lift head, roll over and sit up · Attempting to rock on hands and knees and push off to crawl · Exercising fine motor skills to grasp objects · Manipulating objects intentionally to test its features
Sample Activities
- Tummy time with friends (socialization, strengthens early muscles that’ll control future gross motor skills)
- Story time and dramatic play: (our teachers are also pretty good actors that have fun being silly with puppets to hear those sweet little giggles)
- Music and movement (teachers play music and instruments while assisting your little one with moving their limbs to improve flexibility and create body awareness)
- Arts & Crafts (baby bugs finger paint and create their own little masterpieces, too!)
