Our program allows babies to move freely, permitting them to learn about the world at their own pace. When infants are free to make their own choices, they do not depend on adults to constantly entertain them. This is important so caregivers can give each child one-on–one attention during routines like feeding and diapering. Routines are actually part of our curriculum and considered to be quality learning experiences. We always tell the baby what we are going to do before we do it. This practice eventually allows the child to anticipate what is going to happen which leads to their trust in us and in their environment.

We know how crucial the first three years of life are in developing basic lifelong patterns of coping, living and learning. Research tells us that the most important factor is a child’s secure attachment with a warm, responsive, and caring adult. The first attachment, of course, is to the parents, but the caregivers must also form attachment with the child. Your child’s primary caregiver will know your child best. The relationship they build during routines will serve, as emotional refuelling that will empower your child with a sense of trust and security. A prerequisite to all learning is trusting that your needs will be met by a consistent caregiver who knows and understands you.
