INFANTS

6 WEEKS-12 MONTHS 

Our certified teachers provide a safe, warm and nurturing environment as a constant. As an important part of this stage, teachers strive to develop a personal connection with each infant. They initiate opportunities to stimulate interest with the sensorimotor exploration of their little world through observation, movement, and interaction.

Our program highlights for INFANTS

In order to accommodate to the rapid changes and growth that occur in the first 12 months of a baby' s life, it is important that the curriculum dedicated to infants focuses on the basic skills that need to be developed.
​

• When focusing on the developmental goal “Develop control of the body (10. 4 I.A)”, our certified teachers usually use a toy related to the curricular theme to practice head control with infants and have infants follow it with their eyes and head.
• ​The same strategy would be used when working on the developmental goal “Attend to a picture in a text when reading with an adult (1. 2 I.B)”. When our certified teachers read a book related to the theme of the week, infants are not only exposed to literacy and language, but gain exposure to a new theme every week with consistency over a cycle.

This curriculum allows your infants to receive all the love and care they need, while stimulating their cognitive and physical development at the same time.

Safety
In our nursery, your baby’s safety and security is the highest priority.

Willowdale Children Academy adheres to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for safe sleep. Babies are placed on their backs to sleep, cribs are not shared and are labeled appropriately to identify each child and their abilities. Soft blankets or materials are not permitted in the crib with the baby.

Our infant rooms are baby proofed appropriately to avoid injuries. Teachers are staffed to follow the teacher-child state ratio in place. Infants are always held when bottle-fed, and all toys are age-appropriate and sanitized.
​
​We follow strict hygene procedures with hand-washing and diapering procedures to ensure the highest level of cleanliness for our babies.

"The staff there is amazing and truly cares for the children well being as well as concentrating on learning and physical fitness."
