Infant

Offered at our StarCreek campus, our infant program, known as “The Nest”, is for children from six weeks to eighteen months of age.

Your baby is kept comfortable and content throughout the day. We keep careful records of each child as they develop and grow each day. The environment is soothing and happy, with soft music playing and smiling faces. We communicate with the babies constantly by signing, talking, singing, reading and simply playing with them. We tailor feedings, diaper changes and naps according to each child's individual needs.

We foster the development of basic trust and to assist in the normal development of the personality. Basic trust develops in an environment where people respond appropriately to the infant's communication of needs to be loved, respected, and accepted. Infants learn through their senses, they learn by watching and moving freely.

Here your child is free to move and stretch without restriction. This helps our students become more aware of their bodies as they develop coordination and dexterity without inhibition. You will notice that there are no "play pens" in our classroom. We take great care in setting up a "whole room play area" which enables your child to explore a wide range of materials, textures and objects for tactile and visual stimulation.

Language development is also an integral part of our program. We consciously introduce language through the use of words, inflection, tone and body language. Infants thrive through this interaction. We understand that many of the strongest, deepest and longest-lasting impressions are formed early on, and we are committed to making this first experience one that is filled with warmth, love and care.

Each child is considered as a whole person and is affected by the quality of holding and feeding, as well as the quality of physical care.

Infant programs are available on a full-time basis (5 days, 7:00am-6:00 pm).
