We call them Watchful Wonders from the time we get them at six weeks until they begin to crawl.  Your baby is listening and watching the world in wonder, soaking in new experiences like a sponge.  This is the time in your baby's life when what are important are closeness and affection, talking and eye contact.  Your baby is learning voices and familiar sounds from his/her environment.  Your infant is continuing the learning he /she began even before birth. To foster all of this we plan activities for each individual infant.  The activities are from a published curriculum and our intention is to provide a variety of experiences that encompass physical, auditory and visual stimulation on a daily basis in addition to meeting your infant's basic needs.  There is a file for each child and the teachers record the activities the child has experienced to ensure the variety and/or mastery of the activity.  It is never a dull moment in the Watchful Wonders' room and they are truly a happy bunch.
