Infant

The infant program at Creative World of Learning introduces children age 6 weeks to 18 months to the world around them.

Infants thrive in the context of secure, trusting relationships with their teachers in an environment that is predictable, calm, responsive to their individual rhythms, and stimulating to all the senses.
Young infants respond to what they can see, hear, taste, touch and smell, so teachers intentionally plan experiences with grasping and mouthing toys that young infants can shake, drop, mouth, and explore. Cuddly toys help children learn concepts like hard-soft, light-dark, big-little.

Mobile infants continue to enjoy toys that they can explore with all their senses and teachers support the rapid development during this phase with balls, toys that can be pulled apart and fit back together, dumped and filled, stacked and knocked down. Large soft blocks, push and pull toys, and activity boxes with knobs, buttons to push, and dials to turn all support optimal small and large muscle development.
A language-rich environment with joyful music, singing, rhymes, and book reading supports language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.

Toddler

Toddlers age 18 months to 3 years learn through hands-on activities and collaborative and creative learning experiences.

Hands-on activities based on goals set by parents and teachers provide toddlers, age 18-36 months, with opportunities to build upon a solid social-emotional foundation.
Teachers encourage large muscle development by setting up an obstacle course inside or outside to promote crawling, climbing, and running.
Taking turns with classmates to scoop and mix ingredients to make playdough. Squeezing, pulling, pounding, poking, and rolling the playdough develops the strength in little hands that is important for emergent writing skills.
Puzzles, matching games, shape sorters, transportation toys, simple props, as well as large and small blocks support cognitive and social-emotional development.
