Our Infant Classroom

We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Writing About Breads

Support the children as we learn and write about different grains and color what we see for grains and breads.

Recognition of Animals and Animal Colors

We read the books Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? We noticed all the different colored animals in the books.

We encouraged our Infant students to experiment with painting on textured paper using different strokes and motions. (Textured stencil under the paper)

Encouraging Talks about Eating Healthy Foods

For sensory time, we washed our toy fruit with water to encourage our talk about eating healthy foods. While the children explored the sensory bins, we talked about how we wash our fruit to keep ourselves safe from illnesses and to stay healthy.

Our family would love to meet yours.
