We guide them through their daily routine, nurturing their curiosity and building a positive relationship to help them feel secure in a safe learning environment in Brooklyn, New York.
Infant Curriculum
Cognitive Skills
Infants begin to form memories, develop language skills, and become familiar with sounds. They learn through touch and taste. While they stay in our facility, your little one will learn through hands-on activities with various textured materials, one-on-one interaction with the caregiver, and simple wooden puzzles to assemble.
Communication Skills
As they improve their communication skills, infants will begin to express their needs and wants. We believe it is essential for our teachers to constantly communicate with your children; therefore, they read books and poems and sing songs with your little ones.
Emotional Skills
This skill helps your little ones to feel safe with the adults in their lives and secure in their environment. Our teachers help them build trust and form relationships by observing your children’s signals and responding to them. They hug, cradle, and guide your children around the classroom while communicating with them about their surroundings.
Fine Motor Skills
We help develop your infant’s hand movements by teaching them how to grasp items, feed themselves, color on paper, mold clay, wave hello and goodbye to the people they know.
Gross Motor Skills
The development of their gross motor skills involves their large muscle groups, such as those in their legs and arms. Infants will be able to hold their heads up, roll over, crawl, and pull themselves up. We use different physical activities to help them get used to this type of movement and to promote positive reinforcement to encourage their progress.
Social Skills
The social skills the infant develops include grinning, imitating facial expressions, forming attachments to others, and making eye contact. Our teachers educate your little ones on proper etiquette and appropriate social skills. They monitor your children as they form relationships with others through positive interactions.
