Whole Child® Academy
Infant
6 weeks – 12 months

The first year is the fastest period of brain development a human will ever experience. In our Infant program, every feeding, snuggle, and tummy-time session is intentional — designed to build the secure attachment and sensory foundation your baby needs to thrive.

Curriculum

The six areas in action.

How every developmental area comes alive in the Infant classroom.

Cognitive

Object permanence games, cause-and-effect toys, and narrated routines build early neural pathways.

Social-Emotional

Consistent primary caregivers form the secure attachment babies need to feel safe exploring the world.

Language

Teachers describe every action, sing daily, and respond to every coo — the roots of vocabulary.

Creative

Sensory bins, textured fabrics, and music introduce the joy of creative expression from day one.

Physical

Daily tummy time, reaching activities, and safe cruising space grow gross and fine motor strength.

Health & Care

Individual feeding schedules, diapering protocols, and sleep tracking keep every infant thriving.
