Infant Room

        More learning takes place during your child’s first three years than at any other time, much of it in the first twelve months. Like a little sponge, your baby absorbs everything: touch, smells, colors, shapes, sounds. High-quality, nurturing, caring and devoted teachers are so important. Smart Bear Learning provides infants with a nurturing, stimulating atmosphere to keep pace with their developmental needs. There is ample opportunities to learn and grow, including fun activities designed to nurture and encourage gross and fine motor skill development. On a typical day, your baby’s teacher will sing songs, read stories, and introduce sign language. Believe it or not, at this age we can teach manners by using signs for please and thank you!

        Your baby is eager to explore and learn. Smart Bear Learning provides special play areas with plenty of toys designed for multi-sensory stimulation. At the end of each day you’ll receive a handwritten daily report charting every part of your baby’s time with us like:

- Times and amounts of feedings

- Length of nap periods

- Diaper changes

- General mood
