Infant Classroom Philosophy
A "Day in the Life" of Our Infant Classrooms
Babies enrolled in our centers are off to a strong start! A typical day in daycare for our infants is full of hugs, cuddles, giggles and discovery:
Body Care
Rest assured that babies are regularly fed (both bottles and solid food) and changed throughout the day to provide the ultimate comfort and care. Every feeding and changing is recorded so parents can understand the events of the day and ask questions.
Rest
Growing bodies need time to rest and recuperate as they venture onwards along their growth journeys. Parents play an active role in developing nap schedules to maintain consistency between home and school.
Songs & Sign Language
To add dimension to the concept of literacy, our creative teachers engage in singing and sign language throughout the day to emphasize language with children. Sign language can help pre-verbal children more effectively communicate with providers.
Oral Language
Verbal mapping and activities around the spoken word aid children in the understanding of materials, conversations, and primary emotions. Childcare providers work with children daily to ensure they reach verbal milestones before advancing to our toddler classrooms.
Reading
As teachers read to children, literary breadth expands through aural, verbal and print awareness. Books can also help children explore new concepts at age-appropriate levels.
Motor Skills
From tummy time to the pincer grip, activities around gross and fine motor skills help infants strengthen large and small group muscle coordination.
Sensory
Infants are incredibly receptive to various stimuli across many levels including sight, touch, and sound. We also have infant buggies to safely take strolls outside in the fresh air.
Socialization
As infants age, they begin to comprehend connections with adults and peers. Classroom activities seek to further enhance the foundation for these social-emotional skills.
Infant Classroom Curriculum
Little Sprouts centers are so more than just daycare, our play-based approach to learning combines tender compassion with rousing daycare activities to inspire an atmosphere of love, joy, and growth. In addition to frequent hugs and smiles, infants are offered both individual and group lessons to stimulate brain development and build core skills essential to self-discovery and empathy. In every classroom, our Budding Scholars™ approach is customized for each individual child across four key areas: Citizen, Scholar, Mind, and Body.
