Infancy is a tender, remarkable time of growth and development in a child’s life. Panther's Den infant program, emphasis is placed on the child’s physical needs, such as feeding and diapering, as well as interpersonal interaction. Each infant classroom is designed to develop physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills for babies between the ages of six weeks and twelve months. Enrollment in the infant room may be extended based on a child's developmental needs.
Panther's Den Infant Curriculum: Research has shown that engaging infants in interactive experiences that involve sensory, motor, and social explorations will build brain connections. Our infant curriculum focuses on engagement and stimulation through social interaction, talking, playing, moving, reading and singing.
Panther's Den baby curriculum focuses on the important daily activities that your baby experiences like eating, playing, sense of self and relationships. In addition to nutrition and daily needs, your child will explore the world around them through language (babbling), gross motor skills and fine motor skills (holding a bottle independently). Our teachers shower the infants with attention by holding them, singing to them, and rocking them periodically throughout the day. These interactions help to foster their cognitive and emotional development.
In their classroom, teachers play with the babies on mats to encourage sitting up, crawling and standing. Mirrors at floor-level stimulate recognition and encourage children to pull themselves up at the sight of their reflections.
We want your child to feel happy, safe and secure while they are in our care. We display family pictures in their crib and classroom, to help emulate their home environment. Your child's teachers will be responsive to each infant's individual needs and daily routines, partnering with you every step of the way.
Partnering with Parents, we know that parents are a child's most important teachers. Each day you will receive a daily sheet detail your baby's day including diapering, eating, sleeping, temperament, learning activities and any supplies that you may need to bring the next day. Our teachers' partner with each of our parents by offering information to help reinforce what their child is learning throughout the day.
Preparing for Your First Day, once your baby is enrolled, you will want to prepare for their first day in their new environment. If your child has specific needs that you have questions about, you will want to talk with the Panther's Den Learning Center directly beforehand. We will have a list of amenities, that we supply for you and what you should bring.
