We use an on-demand schedule to ensure that each child's specific needs are met. Children are fed when they are hungry and are put to sleep when they are tired. Guidelines and Objectives In our infant program we: * Allow each infant to follow his or her own pattern of sleep and awake times. Infants are placed on their back during all sleep times. * Provide opportunities for the infant to move freely by crawling and exploring in a safe, clean, warm, open and uncluttered area. We often use music to provide a more enjoyable atmosphere. * Make sure each child receives physical contact and individual attention throughout the day. Examples include being held, rocked, talked to, read to, sung to and taken on walks inside and outside the center. When a child has emotional or physical needs, we make sure to give them immediate attention. * Use routines relating to bedtime, feeding and diapering activities as opportunities for language development, building the child's esteem and other learning experiences. * Encourage children to play with a variety of safe, age-appropriate infant toys, materials and equipment such as blocks, flash cards, books and puzzles. * Provide opportunities for each child to use the five senses through sensory play and develop their gross motor skills. We strive for a balance between active and quiet activities with opportunities for both individual and group activities. * Encourage the development of self-help skills (dressing, washing, eating, etc.) as infants are ready. * Include physical activities such as walking and climbing when infants are ready.
