Our programs for infants are based on the latest brain research. We know the importance of stimulation at this early age. These children are stimulated with a variety of music including children’s and classical. The teachers read to them often. They are given many objects to sense by means of touch, taste, smell, hear, and sight which promote the development of the brain. Our infants are also introduced to sign language as early as five months. Sign language is used in cooperation with verbal language. Studies support that children exposed to sign language increase their verbal skills dramatically.
Each infant receives plenty of individual time which includes language communication, stretching, baby yoga, exercises, and infant massage. These children are provided with lots of love and encouragement in developing their new skills. The ratio of children to teachers is 4 to 1 with a maximum class size of 8. Diapers are routinely changed every two hours and at any indication of a bowel movement. They are fed according to their individual schedule and parent specifications. We also support breast feeding mothers. The teachers partner with the families to ensure continuity between home and school.
The parents will be informed daily of the child’s activities with an individualized daily form. Each child’s development is documented in a portfolio which the parents will receive at the end of the school year.
