General info/schedule: Infants are a special group of children, and we have special training, goals and procedures to care for our littlest ones. These precious babies are where we begin the experience of Evergreen Academy: small, caring, consistent and professional. Our goal is to love and bond with your children, to meet their - and your - needs and to foster their growth through these months of sometimes dizzying changes!Infants are admitted after they are 6 weeks of age, and stay in our program until they are at least 12 months of age and walking steadily and consistently. Our littlest ones are held, rocked, swung and play beneath and around a variety of mobiles, mirrors, books and stuffies. They are fed and nap according to the schedule you provide us; we will work with you as that schedule naturally changes. Once they are able, they are encouraged to use sit-up chairs, bouncy chairs and to have crawling and tummy time. As they approach walking, children are encouraged to use our gross motor toys and to explore the room, creeping and slowly walking! Food & supplies: At the start of your time with Evergreen Academy, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about your child ![]() Staffing: We employ Early Childhood teachers who have special classwork in the care and development of infants. Our infant staff is very carefully chosen, because this is a very special job, and only special teachers have the gift of making an enriching, welcoming environment for infants. Our ratio is one to five, so we tend to have a tight knit little group that sticks together through all their time at EA. |
