Infant
Program
Our
commitment to excellence begins with the partnership
between our teachers and parents, in providing the highest
quality care that meets the individual needs of your baby.
This trusting relationship continues as your baby grows and
his or her developmental needs change. This open
communication will be on going throughout your child's time
at Teddy Bear Day Care.
Teddy
Bear Day Care understands that very young children require
an environment that is especially responsive to individual
needs. Our loving and nurturing teachers respond with
child-friendly language, warm smiles and gentle touches to
assure babies they are safe, secure and special. At Teddy
Bear Day Care, our infant classroom offers an array of
bright, stimulating equipment along side soothing rest
areas, which provide a rich environment for babies to
safely explore the world around them. Babies alternate
between active exploration of play areas and individual
feeding and rest times. All babies eat, sleep and play on
their own unique daily schedule. Our nurturing infant
program is designed just for them based upon both immediate
needs as well as parental request. The parent-teacher
relationship becomes one of mutual support and learning
about how best to care for your infant.
In our infant classroom, you will be delighted in the many
warm and nurturing activities your baby will experience.
You will find our teachers singing songs, rocking and
cuddling children, reading stories and enjoying all the
wondrous moments of your baby's day.
These activities, along with a detailed account of your
baby's schedule, will be carefully documented for your
review at the end of each day.
Our curriculum encourages discoveries in the developmental
areas of social/emotional, language, small and large motor,
and sensory. We recognize that cognitive learning occurs
naturally during all five of these development areas. The
curriculum offers a variety of different experiences in
which babies can discover more about themselves and their
environments.
