In our youngest classroom (ages 6 weeks through 12 months) our focus is on building a deep sense of trust through care routines individualized to meet the child’s needs.  Personal interactions between teachers and infants lay the foundation for how infants come to view the world and their place within it.  The role of the teacher is to provide warm, responsive care-giving that helps the infant understand that their needs and emotions are valid and respected by others.  Age appropriate individual and group activities are carefully crafted to provide sensory, physical, and cognitive stimulation.
