Young Infants Infants at this age love the company of other infants their age. We offer many opportunities for young infants to interact with each other. They enjoy observing their caregiver and imitate the caregivers speaking patterns by babbling. |
Mobile Infants Mobile Infants like to explore items and see what they can do with them. They also like to imitate the item's use from watching others use it. Mobile infants are fascinated with infants around the same age and enjoy observing people of all ages. At this age, infants will enjoy finger plays, songs, and anything with repetition.

Toddlers Toddlers like to pretend with another person or object or like to act out activities they have seen performed by someone else. They like to reenact daily routines, using object in play as they are used in real life. Pretend play is one way to help toddlers cope through some fears they may have. Toddlers play is expanding and they show a lot of complexity in it |
