INFANT CURRICULUM
Our Infant curriculum is based on studies around early brain research, which identifies three essential areas to help young children meet important developmental milestones.
Language
The optimal time for developing language is between birth and age three. Our fun and engaging curriculum helps build a language-rich environment using colorful board books, entertaining puppets, and vibrant photo cards in each daily lesson, which can support a smooth transition further into Toddler education.
Social & Emotional Development
Our teachers help little ones develop a solid foundation of life skills around social and emotional development by taking part in activities that:
1. Establish trust
2. Promote healthy attachments
3.Enhance social interactions
Music, Movement, & Fun
Music plays an important role in shaping the brain and is essential to your infant’s language development. Our little ones are engaged through playful songs, musical instruments, simple games and movement, and tons of smiles for everyone.
