Infant Program

At this stage in a child’s life, they rely on learning through their five senses, using their hands to explore their surroundings.

They begin to develop trust, begin to socialize through smiling. As they begin to communicate their needs, children develop self-confidence, they begin to understand that words have meaning and people will respond to their sounds. The physical movement consists of sitting, crawling and learning to transfer things from one hand to another.
