Our infant curriculum is for birth through 18 months. It’s flexible and easy
to use. This age-appropriate curriculum can be tailored to each child's
needs and is equally suitable for all child care settings.

You might be asking yourself, “Curriculum for infants?” The answer is
“Yes!” The early development that occurs from birth through 2 years lays
the foundation for all later learning. To ensure an effective foundation for
later development and success, infant and toddler experiences should be
designed to meet the individual needs of each child. Babies want to learn.

Taking care of very young children involves more than just meeting their
physical needs. Today caregivers see themselves as responsive
professionals concerned about all aspects of children's development.
You are molding each infant you are caring for into healthy toddlers,
preschoolers, etc. You need to listen carefully to each infant or toddler’s
needs and take a well-grounded approach with each individual’s needs.
