Caring for infants 6 weeks to 18 months
Baby Ducks
Your infant is provided with a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment with programs suited to his or her rapidly expanding imagination. We focus on the needs and interests of babies as our guides to arranging furniture, toys and materials. Our specialized staff works closely with you to identify your child's individual needs. We schedule sleep, naps, cleanings and feedings based on each infant and respectfully follow and integrate these schedules into our care program. Our staff will also continually adjust each infant’s program as they become physically stronger and more mobile.
Babies are amazing; their quickly developing skills will always be supported by placing high emphasis on building strong bodies, language stimulation, communication building and play activities! Interesting music, cause & effect toys, art creation and planned gross motor exercises will balance a day of comforting rest and beginning friendships.
At EduKids, we design our programs with each individual child in mind.
We understand that children move through the stages of growth, socialization and intellectual development differently.
Our daily routines are fun, exciting and flexible!
6:30 – 8:30: Typical arrival time of your baby. Every infant is warmly welcomed each day at EduKids through conversation with family. We share information about your infant’s home to school transition and the beginning sleep and play for the day.
8:30 – Midday: Individual attention is given to each baby through play with a carefully selected variety of toys and sensory activities designed to stimulate their developing body awareness. We provide songs and music, which promote language and natural rhythm, as well as relaxing exercise and friendship building through continuous concentration on names, touch, talk and smiles.
Midday – 4:30: Continued attention is paid to your infant during outdoor play and strolls in the ‘Bye-Bye Buggy’ to experience nature in the warmth of the afternoon sun (weather permitting, of course). Infants are encouraged to stretch, roll, grasp and toddle during floor mat time.
4:30 – 6:00: Typically the time we say, “Goodbye.” As each baby’s family arrives at the center for pickup, we review the day and plan for the next day. Infants are prepared to leave after soothing, calm activities at each day’s end.
**Your baby will have a bottle, eat and sleep according to his or her individual needs.
Our program closes at 6:00 P.M.
