Infant classroom offers strategies for building
positive relationships, helping children develop
self-regulation and responding to challenging behaviors
in a sanitized and safe environment. Teachers guide
children to learn during daily routines and everyday
experiences. By responding consistently to children,
teachers help children develop skills in physical,
social, emotional and cognitive developmental areas.
Our responsive care builds secure relationships
with teachers and other children in a group. Children
learn to play safely with limits and be guided in
ways they behave. They are also engaged in playing
with toys, listening to the stories, connecting
with music and movement and exploring sand and water. |
