Infants Program At Harwell School
(3-8 Months)
At Harwell School, we understand that your infant's first months are filled with rapid growth and precious moments. Our Infants Program is designed to provide a nurturing, stimulating environment that supports your baby's development from 3 to 8 months of age.
Discovering the World: At this stage, your infant is beginning to explore the world around them, using their senses to understand their environment. They are fascinated by faces, respond to sounds, and start recognizing familiar voices. This is a critical period for developing trust and attachment, as they learn to feel secure in the presence of caregivers.
Infants are highly attuned to sensory experiences. They explore through touch, taste, sound, and sight, gradually learning to focus on objects and track them with their eyes.
During these months, your baby will start to gain better control over their movements, including lifting their head, rolling over, and eventually sitting up with support.
Your infant will begin to express themselves through smiles, coos, and babbling, forming the foundation for language development and social engagement.
Our curriculum is designed to fuel your child’s natural curiosity. We create a stimulating environment where older infants can safely explore and develop their motor skills. Activities are tailored to encourage movement, from crawling and walking to grasping and manipulating objects, fostering both gross and fine motor development.
Our teachers engage with your child through conversation, songs, and interactive storytelling. We focus on encouraging their language skills by naming objects, narrating activities, and responding to their attempts at communication, helping to expand their vocabulary and understanding.
We support your child’s emerging social skills through group activities that promote interaction with peers and caregivers. Through guided play, we help them navigate social interactions, teaching them the basics of empathy, sharing, and cooperation.
At Harwell School, we recognize that older infants are rapidly growing into independent explorers. Our personalized care ensures that your child’s developmental milestones are supported in a nurturing environment. We celebrate their curiosity and independence, offering them the freedom to discover the world around them while providing the guidance and care they need to thrive. Our goal is to lay a strong foundation for their future learning and social development, ensuring they are well-prepared for the next stages of their journey.
