Caterpillar Room
Infants
Funtastic Child Care’s Infant Program offers a warm and nurturing environment in which your baby is gently spoken to, read to, and cuddled and rocked in loving arms. Babies learn best when they have warm, engaging, and responsive relationships with their main caregivers. Our teachers provide a warm and secure home-away-from-home for infants to grow at their own pace. We welcome infants ages 6 weeks-12 months.
Our Infant Room is ideal for providing your infant with the calm, loving environment they deserve.
The materials in the Infant Room are chosen to help your baby develop cognitive, language, perceptual-motor, physical, and social skills. Each of the planned activities are based on the routines and individual development of each infant in the classroom. Parents will be asked to provide their baby’s specific schedule for feeding and naps in writing upon enrollment.
Our Goals
Even at this early age, our program is designed to encourage future success, helping your baby:
- Build trust and connection to teachers for comfortable learning experiences
- Communicate by introducing them to books, words, and pictures, chatting with them, reading and singing to them, repeating the sounds they make, and introducing baby sign language
- Develop their sense of self through sensory experiences
- Develop fine and gross motor skills by encouraging tummy time and grasping activities, giving them room to move, and challenging them with fun toys and activities
- Acquire thinking skills through play by engaging them with toys of different sounds, colors, and textures and providing them with interactive day-to-day experiences
