Infants – Baby Bears

Our infant program provides care and early childhood education for children ages 6 weeks to 18 months. Infants at Play and Learn enjoy a nurturing and loving environment in which to grow and explore. We work to create infant spaces that foster each infant’s motor skills, cognitive development, and social/emotional growth. At Play and Learn each infant receives daily individualized care and attention. Throughout the day our nurturing and professional caregivers follow each infant’s personal schedule of napping, eating, and diapering while making time during routine activities to talk, sing, read, play, and cuddle. We keep parents informed with Infant Daily Sheets which detail the activities of each child’s day.
