INFANT

Our Infant program is for children between the ages of six weeks and 18 months. Our teacher to child ratio is 1:4 with a maximum of 8 infants in the classroom. The infant room has been designed to provide your baby with a happy, safe and nurturing environment. Our daily schedule is based on the individual needs of your baby and includes developmentally appropriate activities for the age of your infant. Some examples of the activities are:

• Music and movement
• Cause and effect toys
• Singing songs and finger play
• Exposure to soft blocks, nesting and sorting toys
• Reading books
• Tummy time
• Lots of love and attention
• Outside time in our infant/toddler play area

Warm and nurturing interactions that include hugging, singing, rocking and playing are part of our everyday care. We encourage communication as we talk and sing when we diaper, feed, play and comfort your child. At Imagination Station ELC, we understand that every infant has an individual schedule. We do not force set schedules for our infants. We work with the parents to develop a schedule that works best for your baby. Daily conversations, telephone calls, newsletters and infant reports are all communication tools used to keep you informed and involved. Each day the teacher will post on our PROCARE app about your baby’s day including nap times, feedings, activities engaged in, diaper changes and any supplies needed.
