INFANTS

Humpty Dumpty School serves infants by recognizing their individual differences and needs. The infant program is designed to help children feel secure, with attentive adults warmly responding consistently and supportively to each child. Routine care giving such as diapering and feeding provide opportunities for significant one on one interaction with adult caregivers.

The physical environment is also an important aspect of the program. We provide materials, experiences, and the physical space for children to explore through touch, sound, and sight, a requisite for their cognitive growth.

The move to the young toddler side of the infant classroom occurs as the children gain mobility and need a more active play space. An area where the older babies can use balls and push toys, along with a low climbing structure, encourages free movement. Teaching staff regularly implement carefully planned activities to foster cognitive, emotional, language, physical and social growth.
