Infants                                                                                                                   Baby's Space at Little Earth

We believe that it is the countless ordinary experiences like changing a diaper and playing patty-cake with mom, dad, and teachers help a baby learn the pleasure, comfort, and security of relationships. A child who begins life with a sense of security and basic trust in relationships results will have positive regard for herself and others. Therefore our infant program is for babies who are 6 weeks to 16 months and has:
  • One teacher available for every three babies;
  • Teachers who are consistent and dedicated to developing trust and security through responsive and tender care;
  • Curriculum that grows with the baby and offers opportunities to learn through touching, seeing, hearing, doing, talking and exploring;
  • SEEDS of school readiness and daily individual story time;
  • Daily schedule that responds to the individual needs of each baby;
  • Detailed individualized reports on each baby’s activities throughout the day;
  • Assessment profiles used to identify developmentally appropriate learning objectives;
  • Daily communication with the important adults in the baby’s life; and
  • Four parent-teacher conferences per year.

Our customized learning space allows babies to develop motor, cognitive and relationship skills in a comfortable and engaging environment with caring and responsive teachers. Relationships and cultural connections are strengthened throughout the learning space. Wrap-around mirrors in the infant room help strengthen attachment between babies and caregivers and increase the babies’ sense of connection and discovery. And ramps, crawl-in spaces, and textures promote problem solving and physical development.
