Infant 1 Program
About Our Infant 1 Program
4-Star Parent Aware Rated
Our Infant 1 Program at Learning Explorers Childcare Center is thoughtfully designed for babies ages 6 weeks to 16 months. During this crucial period of early development, we focus on creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that fosters secure attachments and lays the foundation for lifelong learning.
Through responsive care, daily routines, and individual attention, our caregivers support infants in developing trust, emotional security, and early communication. Our classrooms are designed to be calm, clean, and welcoming, offering age-appropriate toys and sensory materials that stimulate exploration and curiosity.
Families receive regular updates, photos, and videos through our Brightwheel app, giving them peace of mind and helping to build a strong connection between home and care.

Developmental Focus Areas
Attachment &
Trust
Warm, responsive interactions help infants build secure emotional bonds and feel safe in their environment. Gentle routines and nurturing relationships support emotional development and build confidence.
Sensory & Motor Development
Gentle movement, tummy time, and soft textures encourage coordination, muscle strength, and sensory discovery. Simple activities help babies explore their bodies and surroundings.
Language & Communicaction
Caregivers model language, respond to coos and cries, and read aloud to support early communication. Daily interactions nurture listening skills and vocal expression.
Healthy Sleep
Habits
Consistent nap routines and AAP-aligned sleep practices promote healthy sleep patterns and safety. A calm sleep environment helps infants feel secure and well-rested.
