At A Quiet Forest Preschool, our Infant Program, lovingly referred to as Tiny Saplings, is designed to nurture the youngest members of our forest family. Here, babies grow strong roots in a warm, secure, and stimulating environment tailored to their unique needs.
🌿 A Loving, Secure Start
We understand that trust and consistency are essential during the earliest years. That’s why we provide:
- Primary Caregiving: Each infant is cared for by familiar, trusted adults to create strong emotional bonds. Your baby’s primary caregiver learns their routines, cues, and preferences to ensure individualized attention.
- A Safe, Cozy Environment: Our space is designed for gentle exploration, with soft carpet and outdoor mats, cozy nooks, and sensory-rich toys. Infants can safely roll, crawl, and discover at their own pace.
- Open Communication: We partner closely with parents to ensure your little one’s needs are fully met. Daily verbal reports and warm conversations keep you connected to your child’s experiences.
“We hold, comfort, and celebrate your little ones as they begin their journey of discovery.”
🌷 Daily Rhythm: Predictable Yet Flexible
Our infant program follows your child’s natural rhythms while introducing gentle structure. A typical day includes:
- Morning: Warm welcomes, cuddles, and engaging sensory play.
- Tummy Time: Developing core strength through fun, interactive activities.
- Stories & Songs: Early literacy and rhythm are introduced through soothing books and sing-alongs.
- Nourishment: Individualized feeding schedules for breastmilk or formula based on parent guidance. Solid foods start when age-appropriate and following parents lead.
- Nap Time: Cozy cribs and quiet rest periods ensure peaceful, restorative sleep.
- Outdoor Adventures: Fresh air and nature exploration in a safe, shaded space designed for the tiniest explorers.
“Each day is full of care, wonder, and opportunities to discover something new—even if it’s just the joy of holding a soft leaf.”
🍂 Learning Through Love and Play
Our philosophy emphasizes nurturing early development through gentle play and exploration. Infants engage in activities that support:
- Sensory Exploration: Textures, sounds, and colors encourage curiosity and cognitive development.
- Motor Skills: Reaching, grasping, crawling, and pulling up are celebrated milestones.
- Language Development: Simple conversations, songs, and responsive caregiving help infants begin to recognize sounds and words.
- Emotional Growth: Infants build trust and security through snuggles, smiles, and consistent care.
“We celebrate small moments—first laughs, curious looks, and wobbly crawls—as your child discovers the magic of their world.”
🌿 Partnering with Families
We believe in working closely with parents to provide the very best care for your little one.
- Daily Reports: You’ll receive updates on naps, feedings, diaper changes, and special moments.
- Personalized Care Plans: Each baby and family is different. We work with your family’s routines and preferences for nutrition, naps, and specialized care.
- Open Communication: Whether it’s a quick chat at pick-up or a scheduled check-in, we’re here to support you and your baby every step of the way.
