Infant & Toddler Care

Willows Christian Child Care Center provides care for children from 6 weeks to 24 months.

As caregivers, we are committed to providing the components of best practices by: addressing all developmental domains, social/emotional, language, cognitive, physical growth and motor development.

Completing bi-yearly formal assessments as well as daily observation which are used in developing curriculum tailored to each child’s needs. Respecting Infant’s natural rhythm in developing feeding and sleeping schedules by being sensitive and responsive to each child’s needs. Providing toddlers with a structured yet flexible daily schedule.

Providing a safe and nurturing environment which fosters comfort and trust with both the child and the family. Providing activities that are language rich and multi-sensory as well as teaching basic sign language to our non-verbal children. Providing both small and large muscle activities, creative messy opportunities, quiet individual time, and noisy indoor/outdoor experiences. Modeling positive social behaviors; sharing, empathy, patience, compassion as well as respect and tolerance of each other.

Encouraging self-help skills as developmentally appropriate; independent eating, self-dressing, cleaning up and helping each other. We believe play and active exploration of the environment is the primary vehicle for facilitating learning in infants and toddlers.

Our Red Bud Room (Infants) provides care for children 6 weeks to 12 months.

Our Birch Room (Toddlers) provides care for children 12 months (1 year) to 24 months (2 years).
