Infants

spacer The Infant Program is available for children from 6 weeks of age to 12 months. However, children up to 18 months who are not yet walking unassisted will be kept in the infant area. Infant care is provided assuring the maximum amount of safety and comfort available.

Developmentally appropriate practices for the needs of an infant are not just a scaled-down version of a good program for preschool children. Changes take place far more rapidly in infants than during any other period of life. Social interaction with the adult care-givers and other infants is stressed. Activities are introduced to increase self-awareness with the infants and young toddlers in this program as well as development in the eye-hand skills and motor milestones. Language development and communication are enhanced through music, talk, and laughter, while physical, spatial, and temporal awareness is focused on with the use of toys and soft playthings. Most importantly is the time spent with the infants and relating to their individual expression of feelings.

Care-givers at Brenwood Academy take the time to supplement the home experiences and individuality that comes with every child, while providing a safe, clean, and warm environment for care and learning.
