The infant curriculum is divided into six major areas of development – Fine Motor, Gross motor, Intellectual, Social/Emotional, and Language. Children develop at their own pace. Staff continually monitor and observe each child for normal developmental patterns. Staff set goals according to the guidelines in our curriculum for age-appropriate development. They then use the creative activities suggested in the curriculum to assist the children in meeting their developmental goals.
