THE INFANT ROOM
Our infant room serves infants ages 6 weeks-15 months old. We are licensed to have 4 infants for every teacher, with our group total being 10 infants and 3 teachers.
In the Infant room, care is specialized to each individual child’s schedule and each child’s eating and sleeping habits are honored. Staff ensures that each infant has one on one time with staff and that they are exposed to art, music, books, play, large motor activities, toys, and the ability to establish a friendship with peers. An open parent and teach relationship is essential to a child’s well-being. Parent involvement and communication is strongly encouraged by all staff. Daily infant reports on eating, sleeping, toileting, and emotional disposition will be sent home. We have an open door policy and encourage parents to visit when they would like.
