At MELC, our infant rooms provide a warm and stimulating environment for your child. To maintain a sense of balance, we designate specific places for sleeping, playing, diapering and feeding.

Our infant rooms are designed to provide a stimulating atmosphere that encourages exploration. Infants are eager to learn and explore, so we provide an individualized program designed to encourage your baby's development. Our daily schedule includes developmentally appropriate activities for infants such as book exploration, tummy time, opportunities to reach, grasp and pull themselves upright, musical experiences and many more. Outdoor explorations allow for new and exciting experiences to enhance your child's day. Our teachers understand that a balanced routine includes lots of visual and auditory stimulation, plenty of attention and age-appropriate toys and activities.

Warm and nurturing interactions that include hugging, singing, rocking and playing are a part of our everyday care. We encourage communication as we talk and sing, as we diaper, feed, play and comfort your child. Interactions such as these allow your child to develop a sense of trust.

At MELC, we understand that every infant has an individual schedule. We do not force set schedules for our infants. Feeding, sleeping, playing, and snuggling all happen according to a routine that fits your child's needs. We work with parents to develop a schedule that works for your baby. We send home daily communication sheets so that parents are aware of the events, activities and care that were provided throughout the day.
