INFANT PROGRAM

Infant

Overview

Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in our environment, creating a strong foundation to support his or her rapidly developing; social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth. A schedule is posted for infant room activities, which we use as a guide throughout the day, however we respect that infants often have their own schedules. Willowbrae Academy curriculum has three unique programs. Our Young Scholars program is based on three key learning areas: literacy, mathematics, and science. Infants are exposed to activities in these areas that will encourage; self-expression, listening, exploration & discovery, identification & recognition, and problem solving. Willowbrae’s BodyBreak KID FIT focuses on activity and education. We provide physical activities and healthy lifestyle education while children are in our care. Our Willowbrae Creative Kids includes: visual arts, dramatic play, music, dance & creative movement and culture & heritage. Infants are exposed to developmentally appropriate activities in these key areas to help support social, emotional and cognitive growth.
