Infant Program

Welcome to Our Nurturing Infant Childcare Program!

At Our Shine Academy and Learning Center, we understand the importance of your baby’s first year of life. Our Infant Program is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where your little one can explore, bond, and thrive.

Infant Childcare Program Overview

Our Infant Classroom serves babies aged 6 weeks to 12 months, offering individualized care that meets each baby's unique needs. With a low teacher-to-infant ratio, our caregivers focus on fostering emotional security, encouraging developmental milestones, and building trusting relationships with both babies and their families. This classroom is a shoe-free zone to ensure a clean and safe space.

Tummy Time

We incorporate tummy time into our daily routines to support your baby’s physical development. Tummy time helps:

Strengthen neck and shoulder muscles.

Helping babies develop the foundation for sitting and crawling.

Improve motor skills and coordination.

By promoting balance and controlled movements.

Prevent flat spots on the back of your baby’s head.

By encouraging varied positions during play.

Our caregivers ensure tummy time is fun and engaging, using toys, songs, and gentle encouragement to make it a positive experience.
