Infant Care
Eat
Families provide food for their child until their child eats only solids. Families also provide diapers for their child until they are potty trained. We are on the baby's time, offering a bottle every few hours, until they are 6 months, then we try to put them on a schedule.
Sleep
Once again, we work on baby's time. We allow them to sleep whenever they are tired and encourage them to sleep when they are acting sleepy. Once they are 6 months, we try to follow a sleeping schedule that works for everyone, so we don't mess up the sleeping schedule at home. We change their diapers before and after every nap and check through-out the day.
Play
We love play time with babies in our care. There is nothing like the sound of a baby laughing. We have toys, and different places for them to play (bouncer, exersaucer, swing, floor on a blanket, playpen, stroller, in our arms, and in a wrap). We like to change up their places to provide different perspectives and toys for them. During play time we make sure that they use all their senses and use play to reach milestones.
Development
We believe that every child reaches milestones at their own time that works for them. But we also believe in encouraging milestones. We use two apps as a curriculum for babies in our care. "Wonder Weeks" helps us understand times when babies are growing and possibly crying more. It helps us understand what babies are probably thinking and going through physically and cognitively during each week of their life. "Milestones Matter" focuses more on the milestones and helps us understand what milestones should be encouraged.
Socialize
We love watching the older kids connect with the babies in our care. Whether it's peek-a-boo, or the older kids reading a story to the babies, or showing them how to shake a rattle. Teachers enjoy rocking and cuddling with the babies as they talk with them or sing to them as well. We include all the ages in everything that we do together, like a big happy family.
