Little Lambs - Infants
Children 6 weeks to 18 months
Our Infant program provides an educational, nurturing environment designed to stimulate your baby's curiosity and development. We use safe, age-appropriate toys chosen specifically to meet an infant's unique developmental needs. Each infant is provided individual attention through rocking, holding, playing and conversations. Our caregivers work with families to meet the individual needs of each baby and develop a schedule based on infant's needs and family goals.
Scheduled activities are performed every day, for example:
- "floor time" for developing gross motors skills - crawling, rolling over, and sitting up!
- "finger time" for developing fine motor skills - pincer reflex, eye-hand coordination!
- "book time" for developing cognitive skills - thinking, listening, and associating!
- "outdoor time" for fresh air and change of environment during the warmer months!
- "sleepy time" for necessary rest time!
Christian music can be heard throughout the day in our Infant room. We feel that introducing the name of Jesus, even at this young age, is so important in the character development of children. Research suggests the first 5 years of life are crucial stepping stones to the adult life by shaping the belief system and decision making abilities.
