Our infant program offers nurturing and loving care for newborns to 18 months in our Saint Helena and 24 months old in Middletown.
We foster a family-style environment in our relaxed and enriched setting, which boosts your child's self-esteem
Mila’s Preschool and Infant provides a steady and safe learning atmosphere where children can develop social and emotional skills, language, cognitive abilities(learning, thinking problem solving), movement and physical development. Our program offers a fun filled and active curriculum where your child will learn through play. We regularly incorporate Spanish, basic American Sign Language, early literacy skills, sensory activities and music to provide a solid foundation for success.
We believe, that the prime times for children to learn are infants and when they are given the emotional support that is crucial for their success. We strive to create the conditions for deep, concentrated play, and build our program to reduce stress for the babies through predictable routines and relationships.
We allow children to learn at their own pace and their preferred ways, instilling positive habits and attitudes, particularly a strong sense of self-worth. these qualities will positively impact their lives throughout.
Newborns primarily focus on body management. We provide ample time for them to explore the floor (belly time) with a teacher nearby, learning to move and stretch. This is vital for building self-confidence and physical control. We avoid interfering with their natural processes, allowing them to develop at their own pace.
We spend time outdoors daily, weather permitting, integrating our care with the latest research in brain development, attachment, and infant care practices. We believe in partnering with families to create a supportive community dedicated to the wellbeing of the children in our care.
