Infant Program

During a babys first years of life, rapid and remarkable changes occur in all areas of development. All babies need affectionate relationships with primary caregivers that develop bonds which provide necessary attachment and security. Early childhood educators provide responsive, individualized care that is warm and sensitive. The educator also provides opportunities for sensory, physical, communication and relationship development. Educators will communicate with infants through song, music, conversation and sign language. Daily routines such as feeding and diapering will be used as opportunities for individual attention, communication and learning. The typical daily program for infants will be highly individualized. Each infants preferred sleeping, feeding and playing schedules will be respected and followed by playing close attention to the infants verbal and nonverbal cues. Our centre follows the recommendations of public health and the Canadian Pediatric Society. Therefore we do not put children to bed with bottles. A child may be given a bottle of water to ease the transition but because of the concerns regarding tooth decay, ear infections and choking, bottles are not used to put children to sleep. We also follow the recommendations regarding SIDS prevention and all babies are put to sleep on their backs unless a doctors note is provided indicating a medical need that requires the child to sleep on their stomach or side. Once children are able to roll they are left to choose their favourite sleep position.
