Infants

INFANT SCHEDULE

Infant schedule is quite flexible. Each infant is allowed to set their own sleeping and feeding schedule. In addition to feeding, diapering, sleeping time, the daily schedule allows one-on-one caregiver/infant activities appropriate to each infant’s developmental level.

Infant Care

Infant care outside of our homes is more common in our society today than at any other time in our history.

Infants need to feel at home if they are to feel safe and relaxed.

Sachse Child Care is your child's home away from home.

Caring for infants is one of the most important jobs in our society.

Infants need and deserve prompt and consistent attention to their physical and emotional needs from a caring adult.

At my home your child will receive excellent care and be quite happy. The differences here are the quality of care provided by the caregiver. Good care produces secure, happy children.

I have safe places where they can crawl, creep, and pull them up.

I roll a ball or place a toy where babies have to reach or crawl for it.

I give babies toys that squeak.

I give the babies teething toys

I point to and say the names of the babies' mouth, ears, nose, fingers, etc.

I place toys and other colorful objects where babies can see and/or touch them.

I shake a rattle behind a baby's head and let the baby turn and grab the rattle.

I place babies in different positions

We read aloud books that have large pictures and not much writing.

I talk to babies and name objects that they are loooking at.

I rock and hold babies when they are upset.
