(6 weeks - 11 months)
        

         In our Infant room we have a ‘no-shoe policy’. Everyone’s shoes are taken off as soon as they arrive at the infant room and are put in their cubbies, including the caregivers. All of the hard toys are sanitized with a bleach solution and soft ones are laundered at the end of the day. Every Butterbee has an assigned crib and a crib sheet.  The crib sheets are washed daily. The caregiver uses gloves to diaper your child and afterwards washes her hands along with your child’s hands, too. We maintain a safe, clean, and healthy environment for your infant. Many of the rooms have viewing windows in the hall and in between rooms. Our Infant Program is composed of:
• Quiet Play- using soft dolls, animals, and balls.
• Music and Movement- using miniature instruments, singing/dancing.
• Storytelling- using puppets to tell a story.
• Creative Arts and exploration- including mirrored walls, helping infants use large crayons on paper.
• Toys- age appropriate, squeeze, and pull/push.
• Self help skills- reaction toys and blocks.
• Baby Signs Program- special baby sign language to better communicate caregivers with infants.
