Infants

In our infant room the staff focus is on the individual schedules and needs of the child, as well as to work with our parents to keep routines as consistent as possible We have a large open floor space to encourage and develop new gross motor abilities, along with bouncers, swings, and jumpers. We have set up the room to provide soft matts, quiet area and books to involve teachers with separate bonding times and way for the children to relax and feel more comfortable.  We encourage early skills such as learning size and textures, hand-eye coordination skills with different age-appropriate toys.
