Infants

Overview

At Funsteps Preschool and Childcare, our babies are guided through their first “STEPS” toward a lifelong love of learning. Our 2 nurturing infant rooms provide our babies with a safe, loving and stimulating environment where they can play, explore, discover, grow and learn!

 

Classrooms

Funsteps 2 infant nursery rooms are warm, clean and “home-like,” filled with developmentally, age appropriate and engaging toys, books, and infant accessories. Whether it be to promote learning and stimulation, social interaction, or individual exploration or rest time, each apparatus selected in our infant rooms has been chosen with a developmental goal in mind and to meet the needs of all our babies.

 

Teachers

Each infant teacher is certified in Infant CPR and First Aid, medication administration and has specialized training in infant development, early care and education meeting the Teacher qualifications for the State of Delaware. With their warm, welcoming personalities and unconditional love for children, each baby gets an abundance of individual attention, love, and one on one interaction throughout their day. Our teachers provide parental support and the opportunity for parents to be an integral part of their infant’s day through daily verbal communication at drop off and pick up, personal contact anytime throughout the day, and written papers on the details of their baby’s daily care at Funsteps. Developmental checklists are shared with parents on their baby’s growth and progress in reaching their developmental milestones throughout the year.
