Infant Childcare & Early Education Programs

​

We've designed a nurturing, calming environment for your baby to develop and thrive in! Our infant nursery has been designed to provide warmth and security and to respond to your baby’s energy and curiosity.

Your primary caregiver is focused on the individual needs of your baby and will work with you to mirror your existing routine with bottle times, naps, and play times to provide consistency. 

While your baby is playing, your little one is also learning. We use our exclusive Brain Connect Infant Curriculum to help your baby reach key developmental milestones, including advanced motor skills, language, cognitive skills, and social and emotional development.

 

Learn Everyday Infant Curriculum

​

Your baby is unique, and so is our infant curriculum. Learn Everyday, our exclusive infant curriculum, is designed around the 5 standards of brain development, and ensures your baby progresses toward these important developmental goals:

​

1. Critical thinking

2. Language

3. Movement

4. Relationships

5. Sensory

​

We've created 1000s of play-based activities based on these 5 components of brain development. Each activity is designed for a specific learning purpose.

 

• Each week your primary caregiver will create an individualized lesson plan for your baby.

• The lesson plan is unique to your child, with at least 6 activities geared towards your child's interests and development goals.

• A new lesson plan is created weekly, though some activities may be repeated.

• The lesson plan is posted in the nursery, so you can always review your baby's weekly plan.
   

Tummy Time

​

Infants spend the majority of time on their backs (in cribs, car seats, strollers). We practice Tummy Time, allowing them to lay on their stomach while awake and supervised. This helps your baby develop their arm, chest, and neck muscles and promotes motor skills, while also preventing the flattening of the back of the head. Tummy Time also helps your baby build the strength needed for sitting up, rolling over, crawling, and walking.
 

Baby Sign Language

​

In our early education program, your baby will begin learning and using simple signs. Baby sign language teaches your infant how to express his or her needs and communicate emotions and desires using simple signs and gestures before developing the ability to speak. Ask your teacher about these signs so you can also communicate with your baby at home the same way!
