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.

Daily Communication: Stay connected throughout the day with real-time updates via the BrightWheel app, including feedings, diaper changes, naps, and photos of your baby's developmental moments and milestones.

Safe, Clean Environment: Our infant rooms are designed with safety and hygiene in mind. Soft, cozy spaces support exploration, while toys and surfaces are sanitized frequently. We follow AAP sleep and safety recommendations to keep your baby protected at all times.

Qualified Staff: Our caring team members are trained in infant CPR, first aid, and early childhood development. With low caregiver-to-infant ratios, your child receives attentive, responsive care from professionals who know how to nurture early emotional and physical growth.
