Infant Care Program
For Age: 6 Weeks - 18 MonthsDiscover Our Infant Care Program: A Home Away from Home
Program Insight
Our infant care program provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children from 6 weeks to 18 months. We create a true home away from home where your newborn or baby can thrive. Our curriculum is built on the belief that infants are capable learners, exploring the world through meaningful experiences. We focus on building trust and security so each child can reach milestones at their own pace.
Teacher’s Approach
Our experienced teachers provide responsive, individualized care. They form strong, trusting bonds with each child, creating a calm and supportive atmosphere. Through open, caring interaction, we help infants build the confidence to explore and begin a lifelong love of learning.
Environment
Our infant daycare classrooms are designed to be calming, inviting, and homelike. Soft rugs, cozy seating, and low shelves with age-appropriate toys and books encourage free exploration for crawlers and walkers. A low teacher-to-child ratio ensures personalized attention in a secure, cozy setting.
Methodology
Our infant child care approach supports every area of development: physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language development. Our teachers use nationally recognized tools to monitor each child’s progress and create personalized learning plans. We believe purposeful play is the most effective way for infants to learn and grow.
Before and After Care
While the infant program follows a consistent schedule, we also recognize the needs of working parents. Our extended before and after care options are available for older children, providing a safe, supervised environment outside regular school hours. This program includes engaging activities such as homework assistance, recreational play, arts and crafts, and STEM projects. Healthy snacks are included to promote well-being throughout the day.
What Parents Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you offer tours for prospective families?
A: Yes, Maplelawn Childcare welcomes all interested families to come and see our facility. We offer daily in-person tours which can be easily booked by selecting Schedule a Tour on our website.
Q: Tell us a little bit about the in-person school tour?
A: We prioritize understanding the specific needs of each parent. This insight allows us to tailor our school tours to highlight the most relevant aspects of our program. During the tour, we dedicate ample time to explaining our daily routine and educational process. Parents have the opportunity to meet our experienced staff, interact with teachers, and closely examine our classrooms. By showcasing our methodology, materials, and overall classroom environment, we aim to provide parents with a comprehensive understanding of our school and how it can best support their child’s development.
Q: How will I be informed of my child’s progress?
A: Maplelawn Childcare uses a mobile application for communications, it is simple and literally acts as a text message to the teacher or vice versa to know more about the child.
We also encourage the traditional method of setting up a time to meet with the teacher before or after teaching hours. If you have concerns or just want to know about what your child is doing in the classroom, don’t hesitate to set up an appointment.
Maplelawn Childcare offers parent-teacher conference twice a year, one in January and the second at the end of the year. That would be the best time to find out all about the child’s growth and progress.
