Comfort,
Safety & Happiness
Parents will fi nd comfort in the fact that our professional
staff of teachers and caregivers is educated and well
trained when it comes to infant care. The daily schedules
of infants vary from child to child and are constantly
changing as children grow and develop during their fi
rst year. Our infant teachers do their absolute best
to meet the needs and schedules of each individual infant.
Our philosophy during this important fi rst year is
that an infant’s needs be met on demand. Each
infant classroom has a safe, special, infant-friendly
play area where rolling over, sitting up, and crawling
are
encouraged. When appropriate, infants are taken outside
in our baby buggies to enjoy fresh air and sunshine.
Teachers and caregivers provide a relaxed, happy environment
with music, age-appropriate toys and plenty of one-on-one
time with each infant.
Initial
Family Visits
When you enroll your child in the Infant Program, we
suggest making one or two appointments to visit before
your child’s fi rst day. This will give you and
your child a sense of familiarity and an opportunity
to begin a
positive relationship with our caring, professionally
trained teachers and caregivers. It is important to
develop this trusting relationship. This is also a good
opportunity to bring in supplies your child will need
and
familiarize yourself with the nursery.
