Developmentally Appropriate Practices for Infants
At Kairos Learning Center you will find a dedicated team to maximize the potential of your infant by proving developmentally appropriate practices tailored to your child. We challenge our young ones with activities not too hard or too easy, just something they are able to do with a little help of a teacher. Our infant program nurtures growth by creating a warm and supportive environment where babies can meet their developmental milestones.
Academia
Our teachers help your infant meet goals that are just right. Teachers will support your child's learning journey by helping them set and reach goals that are both meaningful and within their grasp, fostering a sense of accomplishment and encouraging continued growth.
We use the CDC Milestones to track Their developing stages. This will be a great tool for your visits with a Pediatrician.
Recognizing the Importance of Family and Culture
Understanding a child's cultural heritage provides educators and caregivers with valuable insights into their communication styles, social norms, traditions, and perspectives. This knowledge allows for more culturally responsive and sensitive interactions, promoting effective communication and building stronger relationships. By incorporating elements of a child's culture into learning experiences, we can make the content more relevant, engaging, and meaningful, thereby enhancing their learning outcomes.
Materials
We provide infants with diverse sensory stimuli, including toys of varying shapes, auditory outputs, and tactile characteristics. These are placed in our lower shelf for easier access and safety practices. These toys are rotated every month.
Communication
We use the Alliance Core system to communicate with our parents. You will use this app to sign your child in and out. As the caregivers, we will be able to update you with potty training/ diaper changes, bottles fed/meals and snacks, and much more!
Infant and Toddler Development
-
Physical Development
Recognizing infants' natural activity as key to learning, caregivers foster growing independence by offering progressively complex and secure exploratory materials as gross motor skills like standing, walking, and climbing advance.
-
Social and Emotional Development
From infancy, positive caregiver interactions are foundational for learning. As children mature, we guide the development of essential social skills, including sharing, turn-taking, kindness, and friendship formation, providing consistent encouragement and support.
-
Cognitive Development
We help cultivate young children's innate curiosity by providing experiences that build understanding of cause and effect, encourage imitative play, and foster problem-solving abilities.
-
Language Development
As caregivers, we are crucial in language acquisition through consistent communication, allowing time for children's responses, and reacting to their vocalizations, thereby introducing new vocabulary and the principles of conversation. We teach basic sign language to help children communicate their needs.
