For Infants From 6 Weeks to 1 Year old
The Love Center Day Care Learning Academy has created a safe, healthy, and well-balanced environment to enhance each child’s individual needs. Our infant classrooms are designed to begin working on the six developmental domains that are at the center of school and life success. These six domains are physical health, emotional development, social development, motor development, language and communication development, and cognitive development.
We will promote growth in each of these domains by implementing developmentally appropriate and engaging activities for our infants. Both infant programs will focus on creating a nurturing learning environment where children can feel safe and secure. By providing you with a detailed report of how your child’s day was, you will not miss a moment of your precious child’s growth. Each child will be assigned to a primary caregiver to make sure that we can provide the maximum amount of attention to each individual child. We believe it is very important to begin developing language at an early age.
In our infant rooms, we will foster your child’s language by talking lovingly while feeding your child. We also begin teaching each child American Sign Language as a way in which they can communicate their wants and needs clearly to adults. Signing provides language skills and promotes communication.
