Infant care begins with providing the youngest of children a sense of safety and belonging. Young babies need to know their basic needs will be met: food, physical safety, warmth, and love. They have a need to develop connection with those caring for them. A warm, welcoming, and engaging smile is an example of the kind of close care and connection we offer to our infants.

 

We ensure each child is personally engaged as much as possible throughout the day. Our youngest infants are held during feedings, and all our babies are rocked, read to, and played with throughout the day. Infant teachers are often down on the floor engaging with babies on their level. We have regular sensory activities as part of our infant curriculum, and music “concerts” given by our teachers; helping to soothe and calm their sweet baby emotions.
