All programs at EKC are designed with the child first in mind. Infants require a different environment and developmental experience than our older children however the program is still learning-based. Infants learn from their experiences around them, primarily through touch, sight, and sound. These are our focus areas.
First, by touch. They are held regularly, to get the human contact that is so important in those early months. We do not try to replace the parent but rather to continue to fill the needs while they are with us. Also, they will be encouraged to "experience" their surroundings by touching toys and things that stimulate their growth.
Second, infants learn by sight. They will be introduced to a wide range of stimulus's in color and texture.
Finally, by sound. Your infant will continuously hear the soft and reassuring voice of their caregiver as well as music and other stimuli throughout their day.
As small as they are, every moment is a learning experience. Parents will hear each day about their infant's progress through daily activity reports.
