About Our Infant Program
Learning Without Tears helps young learners gain the skills and experiences they need for lifelong learning success. This hands-on curriculum focuses on the three core learning areas: readiness & writing, language & literacy, and numbers & math. Preschoolers are singing, dancing, coloring, building, and exploring on a joyous journey to school. Learn more about Learning Without Tears here.
Ages 6 weeks to 12 months
Our infant area provides the highest quality of care in an environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. While in our care, the children are stimulated through music, story time, sensory play, tummy time, and interactions between teacher and child. Children in this class begin to hear songs and stories that they will continue to hear as they matriculate through our preschool program. In addition, it is at this age that we start to introduce communication through Sign Language.
Our infant room is cloth diaper friendly. We also encourage parents to come visit their children any time throughout the day. Rocking chairs are available for any parent that wants to come visit, as well as for nursing mothers. Our staff is trained on proper handling and storage of breastmilk. Lastly, you are notified, in real time, when your child is eating, napping, having a diaper change, mood/behavior updates, and other activities.
Ages 12 months to 18 months
Our transitioning infants are busy and ready to explore! They are constantly on the move with their new walking skills, exploring and learning through play at every moment. An action-packed day full of fun, and purposeful, guided play, helps your toddler to develop cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills for future learning and development. Our young ones are introduced to life skills by learning to self-feed and use sippy cups. They continue using baby sign language and words to communicate, as well as transitioning to sleeping independently on cots. We promote healthy brain development through positive relationships and responsive environments. This helps with child bonding and character development. Our language rich environment helps develop communication skills.
