Young Scholars teachers care for babies as
young as six weeks old with sincere love and affection, and constant attention to developmental needs. Infants are cared for
in a warm, loving, infant-only setting - similar to the one they have at home - where they can build trust in themselves and
in their teachers. While in our care, your child will continue to receive cognitive and physical stimulation to promote development.

Young Scholars infant curriculum consists of developmentally appropriate activities designed to help
your infant reach key milestones. As a parent, you are assured that your child is exposed to different stimuli and learning
activities at the developmentally appropriate activities at the developmentally age appropriate pace.

The teachers and infants spend some
time playing on the floor together!
A monthly lesson plan is posted in the room the
first Monday of month with our developmentally appropriate activities. Parents have the opportunity to read about
their infant’s day on the “Today We” bulletin board located on the parent board in our classroom.
Each day your baby will be sent home with a daily report indicating to the parent(s) what their sleep habits were, amount
of food/bottles consumed as well as diaper changes. Teachers will also write little comments about how your babies day
was at "school".
