Newcomer (3 mo - 1 Year)
The Infant Classroom is the child’s first stop on their journey at Bella Mente. Delivering a comfortable, safe, caring environment is the teacher’s focus in this class. Our infant classroom starts at 12 weeks and they transition on to the next classroom at or around 12 months. We keep our classroom at or under a 1:4 ratio.
There is no set schedule and our teachers work to meet each child’s individual needs. Our philosophy is such that as children’s fundamental needs are met in a loving, safe environment they will flourish through this time of rapid development. They emerge from the Infant Classroom happy, trusting, and ready for their transition from infant to young toddler. While this room serves our infants, we still incorporate our Reggio philosophy into their day to day by recognizing them as capable and competent individuals ready to learn and grow. The environment is set up to help each child take their learning to the next level.
