Infant Daily Schedule
All children learn through play. We focus on time
for open-ended play throughout the day. We will occasionally have
projects to show you, but mainly we will have fun being kids and
playing.

Our goals for the infants age group is to feel secure and loved. Our center should be home away from home
Each child will develop at their own pace in areas that interest them at that time. We watch for steady progress in all areas .
Age-group Milestones:
- smiles, then starts to coo and laugh
- turns to objects; shows interest in their environment
- recognizes certain people
- during floor play, starts to push up and sit up
What you can do at home:
- Give lots of time and attention
- talk and read to your baby. It's never too early to read together
- set your baby on the floor for free play.
More great stuff!
