Relationships come first.
Our infant program is built upon the following core principles:
- 1Primary caregiving
- We follow the practice of primary caregiving, a method where each infant is entrusted to a dedicated caregiver. This unique approach places relationships at the forefront of our care, fostering trust, security, and vital attachments that are fundamental to the healthy development of neural pathways, emotional regulation, and foundational learning, which ultimately shapes your infant's future.
- 2Individualized care and learning
- We recognize that each infant has their own pace and preferences. Our experienced caregivers work closely with families to create personalized care plans that align with the baby's unique needs and developmental milestones. Even at this tender age, infants are learning constantly. We engage them in developmentally-appropriate activities and focus on their physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development.
- 3Safety and comfort
- Our caregivers are not just trained professionals; they are also compassionate individuals who provide nurturing care to make your baby feel safe and loved. The safety and comfort of your child are paramount. Our infant room is thoughtfully designed to provide a secure, clean, and soothing environment where your baby can explore, learn, and grow under the watchful eye of our caring staff.
- 4Regular communication
- We maintain an open line of communication with parents, ensuring you're always informed about your baby's day, from feeding and napping schedules to milestones achieved. We acknowledge that as your baby grows, their schedules evolve, and we are here to not only adapt but also to attentively listen and comprehend your aspirations for your precious one.
At Wonder Years School, we consider it a privilege to care for your precious infant during these formative years. Our Infant Program is more than just a daycare; it's a loving and supportive community. Join us, and let's embark on this exciting journey of growth and discovery together.
