Seedlings (6 weeks - 12 months)

Seedlings Classroom

Our infant program is designed to provide each child with a safe and nurturing environment that will stimulate learning. The teachers model and provide a loving Christian environment. Seedlings has a daily curriculum that introduces the little ones to lifelong learning through exploration. The curriculum provides experiences that foster development in all aspects of the child's life. Classroom teachers provide praise and positive reinforcement for all accomplishments and efforts. Teachers actively chart the development of each child. All parents are provided with daily communication regarding their child's learning, feeding, and personal care routines at the end of each day.

Feeding

All bottles that parents provide must be prepared and ready to feed. We will work closely with you when you start to introduce purees and/or soft foods and will only offer these after you have asked us to.

Ratio

Our Seedlings classroom has a teacher-child ratio of 1:4 and a maximum of 8 babies. The low ratio allows for teachers to get to know each child and care uniquely for them.

Sleeping

All infants will receive their own crib. We provide the crib sheet. We follow safe sleep practices. Our cribs are located in the classroom which allows us full supervision of all sleeping infants.

Classroom Environment

Our Seedlings classroom creates an environment that allows critical connections that promote infant development to be made. An essential piece of our Seedlings classroom is the relationship formed between teacher and child.

Schedule

All infants are unique and require their own schedule. Our Seedling teachers work with you to create a perfect daily schedule suited to meet the needs of your child.

"I have had 2 infants go through the Seedlings program at Rosebuds Early Learning Center. I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. They always consult my husband and I and include us in our infants' care team. They go above and beyond to make sure that we are happy and fully communicate with us daily about our infant. We get a variety of artwork, development articles, and information about skills we can use at home. I am very happy with the Seedlings program and highly recommend it!" -Stefanie

"We love the infant teachers. They are organized, kind, communicative, and masters at bringing order to chaos! We appreciate their partnership in caring for our daughter - they have thorough answers to our questions, take note of her personality, and help us to work on her various development needs as she grows. We want them to know we value their efforts, decision-making, and genuine care for our daughter! They make daycare a very positive experience for our family." -Lindsay
