INFANT PROGRAM
Partnering with you and your baby every step of the way.
Starting at 6 weeks, we begin to create strong bonds that will support your infant’s ability to trust and learn in a safe and responsive environment. While in our infant program, children develop physically, emotionally, and socially by exploring with their five senses (indoors and outdoors), interacting with stimulating materials, and connecting with loving adults.
Health & Safety
- Regular health screenings of children and teachers
- Daily sanitization of toys and other classroom materials
- Regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces
- 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio for individualized care
- CPR- and First Aid-certified staff
Our Infants’ Day
Families and teachers work together to create an ideal schedule for each infant. As infants grow and feeding and sleeping habits change, the schedule is adjusted appropriately.
Home-School Connections
In addition to sharing information at pick-up and drop-off times, GHES teachers communicate with families through Procare Engage, a digital communication app. iPads in each classroom allow infant teachers to send daily reports on:
- Bottle feedings/meals
- Diaper changes
- Nap times
- Classroom activities (photos and videos)
- Special events
Families can also use Engage to update teachers on sleeping patterns, eating schedule, and any special needs for the day.
We also welcome all our families to become involved in their campus community through classroom visits, volunteering, and special family events
