A Gentle Beginning
Children’s Discovery Center is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for your infant. Our consistent caregivers show genuine interest in your child as an individual, tend to his or her basic needs and encourage the development of a positive self-image. In our infant program, your child is an active participant in discovery, by becoming familiar with the world through looking, communicating and moving in our safe environment.
The key elements of our infant environment include safety, freedom to explore within reasonable boundaries, time for uninterrupted play, and responsive toys within your child’s reach which do interesting things when manipulated.
Our infant program includes activities that are geared to invite your child to become more familiar with his or her world through:
- Looking
- Listening
- Communicating
- Moving
- Discovering
- Solving
- Touch
Some examples of these activities are:
- Tactile experiences
- Simple “baby” games
- Puzzles
- Music (singing, dancing, clapping, etc.)
We strive to encourage your child to become focused, involved and inner-directed.
