Infant Care

Entrusting the care of your infant to someone else is never easy. You don’t want to miss every one of their smile, crawl, and squeal.

At Story Book Hollow Children’s Academy, we make the tough task of leaving your baby in someone else’s care a little easier by having loving, dedicated primary caregivers for the infant room.

With our partnership approach, we work with you to develop your baby’s daily schedule to capturing special moments with photos and videos that you can receive instantly. At the end of each day, you will receive detailed electronic report of your little one’s feeding, sleeping, diapering, and learning activities.

How your baby learns to develop small & large muscles, fine-motor skills and balance

The development of small and large muscles is important during these early years of life. Whether your baby is just starting to raise her head, rolling from stomach to back, or taking that first step, our classrooms offers plenty of comfortable space for her to practice these burgeoning motor skills in a safe and secure environment.

Sample Activity:We make sure your baby develops her fine motor skills and achieves developmental milestones by encouraging activities like reaching and holding on to their favorite toy, clapping their hands to music and playing games like ‘Itsy-Bitsy Spider’ with her to increase finger dexterity.

Social-Emotional

How your baby learns to think, imagine and solve problems

Recent brain research reveals that emotional and cognitive development are closely connected. Providing responsive caregiving to infants not only helps them begin to regulate their emotions and gain a sense of safety and predictability in their social environments, but also strongly supports attention and learning.

Cognitive

How your baby learns to think, imagine and solve problems

Nurturing and responsive care giving is the key to healthy brain development of your child. Early experiences shape how her brain develops - therefore, supporting a child’s cognitive development with consistent, nurturing experiences and interactions is critical for brain growth.

Sample Activity: Rhyming & Singing: Song and music strengthens cognitive skills and enhances babies’ moods. Our caregivers are often singing and cooing to your infant, creating a loving and positive environment.

Language & Literacy

How your baby learns to communicate and understand

Research indicates a back-and-forth exchange of words, sounds, and expressions between caregiver and child is an active ingredient to brain development. Throughout all hours of daycare school, our caregivers not only talk to your baby but also tune in to their responses and encourage vocalizing and babbling.
