Infants

Welcome to the Infant Program at the Early Childhood Center

The infant years are a wonderful part of any child’s life. These years are filled with challenges and amazing developmental achievements! The Infant Room staff is committed to providing your child a safe, stimulating and developmentally appropriate environment where you child can learn and grow. Also, we look forward to sharing and talking with all of our parents about the daily joys of your child’s growth. You are an integral part of your child’s education here at the Early Childhood Center (ECC) and at home. Thank you for letting us travel on this journey with you.

Components of the Infant Program

The ages of children enrolled in this program are from 6 weeks to 16 months. The classroom has teachers, assistant teachers and aides to maintain the appropriate child to teacher ratio. Because the Infant Room staff follows stringent state safety guidelines, you can be assured of a safe, secure, and positive environment where your child can grow and develop a sense of identity and self-confidence.

Primary Care Groups

The ECC follows a continuity of care model. Research has shown that providing infants and toddlers with a consistent caregiver allows children to maintain a sense of security that allows them to explore more freely the world around them. Your child will be assigned to one of four primary care groups administered by one of the Infant Room teachers. Infants need a loving, consistent caregiver to help them with their learning process.
