The Infant Program enrolls three infants who are four through fifteen months as of the end of August. There is an adjoining crib room in which each infant has their own crib. Care and programming for the infants is provided by the Infant Teacher with assistance from college students and the Toddler Teachers. The curriculum promotes development in language, use of the body, thinking, and use of the senses. Infants are also exposed to the world around them through learning activities and outdoor activities.
Books are always available for infants to look at on their own or with a teacher.
Activities are set up on the floor, on blankets, so infants are free to explore what interests them. Learning materials are chosen with an eye towards safety, educational value, quality, infant appeal, and cultural diversity. They are sanitized daily. Families are welcome to stay at arrival for as long as they have time, and to visit at any time. Nursing mothers are encouraged to feed in their child during the day if it fits into their schedule.
