At Growing Tree, we offer programs for infants aged six weeks to one year. Each infant is inherently curious and eager to learn, and we recognize and respect their individual temperaments. We prioritize close, nurturing relationships as the foundation for their developmental growth. Infants learn primarily through imitation of the behaviors they observe around them.
Our center ensures a calming auditory environment, conducive to their development, and provides ample space for independent play, movement, and exploration. We organize areas for different developmental stages to ensure safety and encourage interaction. Toys are carefully selected to stimulate various skills and are easily accessible for infants to explore and choose from.
We arrange our space to accommodate children's needs for quiet play, ample room to move freely, and safe exploration. Separate areas are designated for younger infants and crawlers to encourage secure interactions. Our toys are carefully selected to engage and stimulate children's development. They include grasping toys, skill development materials, and a variety of sensory objects. Open shelves within reach offer choices, promoting independent decision-making and exploration.
