Areas Of Development
Unlock the potential of our youngest learners with a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate infant curriculum designed for infants aged 6 months to 1 year, aligned with New Hampshire Early Learning Standards. This curriculum focuses on fostering holistic growth in physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional, and cognitive domains, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for each child.
Key Components of Our Curriculum:
Physical Development
Our curriculum promotes physical growth through engaging activities that enhance motor skills. Infants will enjoy tummy time to strengthen their neck and back muscles, while a variety of safe and stimulating toys encourage reaching and grasping. By creating opportunities for supervised sitting and exploration of different textures through sensory play, we support infants in achieving key developmental milestones.
Cognitive Development
Discovery and exploration take center stage as infants engage with toys and materials that foster curiosity. Through interactive activities like peek-a-boo and cause-and-effect games, infants will develop foundational cognitive skills. Our approach includes introducing shapes, colors, and sizes through appealing toys and books, laying the groundwork for future learning as they discover the world around them.
Language Development
Building strong communication skills starts early. Our curriculum emphasizes rich language exposure through conversations, nursery rhymes, and reading sessions. Infants will have the opportunity to hear repetitive language and observe caregivers modeling speech, reinforcing their ability to mimic sounds and gestures. This early engagement nurtures a love for language and prepares infants for future literacy.
Social and Emotional Development
We prioritize social and emotional growth by facilitating secure relationships within a nurturing environment. One-on-one interactions with caregivers help infants build trust and attachment, while gentle touch and physical closeness foster emotional security. Observing positive social interactions models healthy relationships, promoting empathy and emotional intelligence from a young age.
Approaches to Learning
Infants will thrive in an environment that encourages exploration, problem-solving, and independence. Our curriculum offers a variety of age-appropriate materials that stimulate interest and foster choice-making within a safe framework. We engage infants in activities that enhance their attention and focus, providing a foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing their innate curiosity and desire to explore the world.
