One of the most important components of the infant program is our low infant to staff ratio. The Children’s Enrichment Center ratio is 2.5/1. This low ratio is designed with your infant’s need for love and security in mind.

Throughout the day your infant will engage in experiences that will stimulate his/her exploration of the world around them. Opportunities will be provided to encourage development of motor skills. Attention is placed on your infant's readiness for rolling over, sitting up, crawling, pulling up, climbing and eventually walking. In addition, our staff will provide verbal stimulation to promote language readiness.

The Children's Enrichment Center philosophy of infant care requires addressing the developmental needs of infants in the following categories:

      Social
