Infant Curriculum

Our Premier program is available for infants beginning at 4 weeks through 18 months. In our program your infant will receive the best, nurturing and learning experience possible! We have highly experienced teachers who understand the importance of infant care and that this is where learning truly begins.

We understand and value the high need for parents to feel comfortable with leaving their infants with people other than family and we are extending our hands to you, in hopes of becoming a part of your extended family.

During the initial 30 days your infant will receive an Ages and Stages Screening Assessment based on information you’ve shared and what they are displaying in a social environment with other infants of various ages. You will receive a copy of your child’s assessment and have opportunity to establish a meet time with teachers to go over the assessment and plan out the learning experience for your child based on our curriculum calendar. Quarterly checkpoints are complete through daily observations each quarter. We assess educational development and learning goals. The quarterly checkpoints are placed in our Agape Academy journey binders.

Infants will explore a number of learning opportunities: music and movement, art (visual and hands on depending on development), literacy and reading, outdoor and indoor motor movement, and lots of love.

Infants in Action

We often think of infant rooms with soft music and lighting, sleeping babies and babies on their tummies on mats reaching for toys. Toddler classrooms, in contrast, have the reputation of being bustling and busy with children trying out their newly acquired skills of walking, climbing and saying “no.”

What makes Agape different is that we provide transitions for building confidence during the transition stages.  We work with our infants to get them to what is called the Waddler stage.  By developing the movement skills  to become a Waddler, (unsteady walker and getting into everything) the child develops confidence in their movement abilities.

Knowing what to expect during the infant to toddler classroom transition can help ease the transition. As with many transitions, the more communication you can have with your child’s new teachers, the better. And acknowledge the milestone of “moving up” by taking photos of your child’s first day in the new classroom and creating a new morning routine.
