Infant Room

At A B Childcare, we focus on providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports the early developmental stages of infants. Trained caregivers engage in activities that promote sensory exploration, such as soft toy play, gentle music, and colorful visual stimuli. Tummy time is encouraged to help strengthen neck and upper body muscles. We also follow a consistent feeding and nap schedule tailored to each infant’s needs. Building trust and forming secure attachments are paramount, with one-on-one interactions being a priority. The daycare environment ensures a safe space for infants to explore, fostering their cognitive, emotional, and physical development during this crucial stage of early childhood.
Toddler A

Our focus shifts towards encouraging independence, socialization, and motor skill development. Our caregivers engage toddlers in age-appropriate activities that stimulate their curiosity and creativity. Play areas are enriched with building blocks, art supplies, and interactive toys to enhance fine and gross motor skills. Structured group activities, like circle time and simple games, promote social interaction and language development. We also encourage basic self-help skills, such as feeding themselves and tidying up toys. A routine, including scheduled meals and nap times, provides toddlers with a sense of security and helps establish positive habits. The daycare environment supports the development of toddlers, fostering their emerging personalities in a safe and engaging setting.

Structured group activities, including simple games and music sessions, enhance social interaction and cooperation. The environment is designed to support potty training and self-help skills, fostering a sense of accomplishment in the toddlers. Outdoor play is incorporated to develop gross motor skills and allow for physical activity. With a balance of routine and exploration, the daycare setting provides a supportive and stimulating space for toddlers to thrive during this crucial stage of early childhood development.
