Infant

In our infant classroom each child is on their own unique schedule. During the parent orientation the new family will provide a personalized schedule of the child’s current needs. The teachers follow each child’s schedule and provide feedback to families as they see the needs grow and change. As the students’ needs change the teachers will communicate with the families and work together to adjust the schedule to the child’s changing needs. 

 

Teachers keep track of sleeping, eating, diapering, and general behaviors in the Tadpoles app. When the child is checked out at the end of each day the parent will receive a personalized report of their child’s day. FYC also sends at least one photo/day of the child through the Tadpoles app. 

Parents in our infant room provide bottles, filled and labeled with the child’s name and date. Bottles are rinsed and returned to parents for cleaning at pick up. Parents provide purees until the child reached the “table food” stage. At that time the child will transition to food provided by our catering company, Beyond Green Catering. Two snacks and lunch will be provided daily. Parents provide diapers and FYC provides wipes unless otherwise specified by the parent.

“Choosing FYC was the best decision for our family! We brought our premature-born son into FYC at just 14 weeks old, and they made us very comfortable with our transition. All of the teachers are extremely caring, energetic, and engaging - making it a perfect environment for the development of our son. He is now a thriving and personable 16 month old in the toddler room, and he has enjoyed all of the many diverse learning experiences FYC has provided. We have felt a uniquely high comfort level with the people at FYC and we are so grateful for their ability to work with our son in all phases of his development. We are excited to bring our second child to FYC in a few months! Thank you, FYC!”
