The infant program at Edu-Care is designed to meet the individual needs of each child.
Each infant will be cared for according to his/her special temperament.
Not only will your child’s basic needs be met, but he/she will be given affection, hugs, praise and encouraged to discover his/her
surroundings in an inviting, loving and safe environment.
Scrapbook
Each Infant is provided with a scrapbook that is used to journal special moments of your child's time at Edu-Care.
This might include pictures, art work or stories written by the teachers about your child. By the time your child is
ready to leave Edu-Care, you will have a book full of special memories of these early years in your child's life.
Objectives
Each child will develop:
- a strong sense of self and emotional security
- a sense of well-being and discovery
- gross and fine motor skills
- visual and auditory perception
- cognitive awareness
- social skills
- trusting relationship with teachers and adults
The teachers in the infant program provide parents with a daily report which lists the time of sleeping, eating,
diaper changing and comments about the child's day.
Teachers also communicate with parents through phone calls, and development reports (completed every 3-6 months). Before a child
begins attending Edu-Care, parents will be required to complete a questionnaire specifically designed to allow the teachers to learn more
about the routine of a child and his/her temperament. This information will be used to develop an individual program
to meet each individual child's needs.
