Infant Programming - 6 Weeks to 1-Year
"It's all of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live."
~ Johnny Depp
The staff of Arts for Kids is both professional and caring. They will teach and care for your child using their experience and the information they receive from you. Each staff member has or will soon complete the required education to be a professional childcare provider in the State of Wisconsin.
Our committment to quality care begins with the partnership between our care givers and parents, which is especially important in providing the highest quality of care for infants.
Together, parents and care givers develop a daily schedule that meets the individual needs of the child. This open communication will be on-going during the child's time at the Center.
The Center realizes that very young children require an environment that is responsive to individual needs. Our loving care givers respond with kind words, warm smiles and gentle touches to assure infants they are safe, secure and special. Our infant classroom offers an array of bright , stimulating equipment alongside soothing, restful areas. Our infant room is a safe and secure place for infants to explore and learn as they spend their day with us. Each infant is on their own unique feeding, sleep and play schedules. Our nurturing infant program is designed just for them with their best interest at heart. Non mobile infants will be moved to various activities in the room to provide variety and enjoyment in their day.
Children under the age of 2 years old will have a notebook system for direct communication with their teacher(s). In this notebook the teacher will log the daily activities, feedings ad rest times of your child. Parents will be asked to list pertinent information that will ensure the individualized schedule of each child is up to date. To include, but not limited to, the last time the child ate,slept and was changed, as well as mood and sleeping patterns of the night before.
May 2023 News!
Infant I
Welcome May flowers and hopefully not only will this month bring on the beautiful flowers but we are hoping for nice weather as well. While we are talking about nice weather, we would like to ask if you are able to bring in sunscreen for your child, spring hats, and warmer sweaters so we can take walks when it gets nice out and enjoy some sunny days. Last month we welcomed two new friends and it has been so wonderful getting to know them. This month we are welcoming two new friends, Dawson and Amelia, as well as having to say a sad goodbye to our friends Edward and Nora as they move on up to Infant 2 to do more exploring and making more memories. We are so happy to be able to bring two more new friends on board that we can make memories with and grow with. The month of May we will be talking and learning about flowers, celebrating our amazing moms the week of Mother’s day, learning about the zoo, Memorial Day, and lastly, our weather. Our goals for this month are rolling over, self soothing, getting to know each other, and sitting up. We always continue doing one on one time with each child as well as group time; during these times we read books, do art, talk, and work on our goals, take walks, and take pictures. As always, feel free to ask us any questions or concerns you may have either at drop off, pick up, or on HiMama. Happy May: May you see the flowers all around!

Spring is in the air! Warmer weather is definitely coming!
We cannot wait to take the babies for walks outside and to the toddler playground as the warmer weather approaches. This month we will be learning about butterflies, flowers, Memorial Day, and celebrating the wonderful women and moms in our lives! Our friends will continue to learn new skills and grow each day!
As always feel free to message me on HiMama if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great month and Happy Spring!
Ms. Kayla
