Infants

When you are looking for infant care, it’s important to find a program that is best for your child. Infant care is a specialty that requires attentive, and experienced staff. In our program, the schedule and rhythm of the day depends upon your child’s needs, and the routines you’ve established at home. From nap time to feeding, your child will be monitored closely to determine what they need next in their day. We want your child to be nurtured while in our care, and we work hard to make this happen. When looking at other infant care programs you will easily see what sets us apart; our staff provides high quality care, compassion, and nurturing in a Christian home-like setting, where you child will grow and thrive. We invite you to visit our program and experience the Cornerstone family.

Infant Curriculum

We educate and nurture in a loving and playful setting!

Cornerstone Learning Center utilizes the nationally recognized Frog Street® Infant Curriculum in our classrooms. Frog Street Infant is designed around the latest early brain research and includes 264 domain-based activity cards specifically designed for little ones 0-18 months. The program is child-center and intentional with fun, and developmentally appropriate activity cards that teachers will implement each week. These cards cover the following learning domains: Physical Development, Cognitive Development, Language Development, and Social Emotional Development. The infant curiculum is designed to equip teachers to foster essential growth and build a strong learning foundation.

Bible

We want to begin to lay the foundation for our infants to have a loving relationship with the Lord. We’ll do this by singing songs, reading stories, praying over the babies, and talking about Jesus. “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3: 14-15

Age-Group Learning Plans

Activity cards include all four of the domains, list above, in each of the following age groups:
• 0 - 3months
• 3 - 6months
• 6 - 12 months
• 12 - 18 months
Teachers will choose one activity card for each domain, in each age group to implement weekly with your child. Activities may be repeated to ensure proper development and to allow children more time to grasp concepts.

Language Rich Environment

The most fertile time in life for developing language is between birth and age three. Frog Street Infant helps build a language-rich environment for our students with a library full of colorful board books and high-interest photo cards. Simple baby sign-language is also incorporated into our daily routines to help your child communicate more effectively.

Social-Emotional Development

Frog Street Infant helps little ones develop a foundation of important life skills by:
• Developing trust
• Forming healthy attachments
• Developing impulse control
• Enhancing social interactions

Music, Movement & Fun

Music plays an important role in shaping the brain and is critical to babies’ language development. Through playful baby songs, simple games, and rhythm-band instruments, little ones will be engaged through music, movement, and fun!

Parent Communication

We are proud of our infant classrooms and the wonderful developmentally appropriate activities we are doing with your child. Each month, parents will receive a Frog Street Newsletter with developmental information and things to try at home. This is a great resource for families by giving ideas for enhancing what your child is learning. Our ProCare Parent app gives you information about your child’s day straight to your phone or computer. Teachers can send photos, information about what your child is learning, events, meals, diapering/toileting, and more. This is a great tool to keep lines of communication open with your child’s teacher. Of course our teachers are always available face-to-face with our open-door policy!
