THE INFANT ROOM
At Living Waters Children's Center, we understand the unique needs of our youngest learners. Our infant program provides a nurturing and loving environment where infants can thrive and develop their foundational skills while being surrounded by Christian values. We believe that even at this early stage of life, children can begin to experience God's love and learn about His creation.
OUR APPROACH
LOVING CARE
Our experienced and dedicated caregivers provide a warm and secure environment where infants feel safe and loved. We believe that each child is fearfully and wonderfully made, and we treat them with utmost care and respect.
INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION
We recognize that every child is unique and follows their own developmental timeline. Our teachers engage in one-on-one interactions, observing and responding to each infant's needs, preferences, and emerging abilities.
STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT
Our infant rooms are designed to promote sensory exploration and discovery. Through age-appropriate toys, soft music, and gentle movements, we encourage infants to engage their senses and develop their motor skills.
SPIRITUAL NURTURING
Even at this tender age, we believe it's important to lay a spiritual foundation. Through simple prayers, gentle songs, and stories, we introduce infants to the love of Jesus, helping them experience God's presence in their lives.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
Our caregivers engage in conversations, sing songs, and read stories to foster language acquisition. We create an environment rich in language to encourage early communication skills.
COGNITIVE STIMULATION
We provide a variety of stimulating activities and materials that promote cognitive development. From exploring different textures to introducing cause-and-effect toys, we encourage infants to learn and explore the world around them.
FINE & GROSS MOTOR SKILLS
Through gentle exercises, tummy time, and play, we support the development of fine and gross motor skills. Our caregivers are attentive to each infant's milestones, providing encouragement and guidance.
PERSONALIZED CARE PLANS
We work closely with parents to develop personalized care plans for their infants, considering their unique routines, feeding schedules, and sleep patterns. This ensures continuity of care between home and our center
PARENT PARTNERSHIP
We understand the importance of building strong relationships with parents. We maintain open lines of communication, encouraging parents to share their thoughts, concerns, and goals for their infants. Through regular updates, including photos and progress reports, we keep parents informed about their child's daily activities and milestones achieved.
We invite you to schedule a visit to experience the warmth and care our infant program offers. We look forward to partnering with you in providing a loving and nurturing environment where your child can grow, explore, and experience God's love from the very beginning.
