Infant Classroom

 Our infant program is designed to meet the individual needs of each infant. We understand that all infants develop at various rates and stages. Our infant program consists of stimulating the infant’s through colors, age-appropriate toys and books, outdoor stroller walks, and soft music to create a soothing atmosphere that enhances each infant’s cognitive growth. We also teach sign language in the infant classroom to promote effective communication tools for our infants. Earlier communication can provide psychological benefits, such as enhanced confidence and self-esteem. We also provide a structured feeding and nap schedule for each infant based on their specific needs. 

Our program focuses on the following developmental areas: physical, emotional, social, and cognitive. Also, children will be able to use their newly discovered independent skills as they explore their environment and also with the consists of stimulating through colors, age-appropriate toys, and books. Staff will encourage children to use self-help skills while providing basic needs. We also teach sign language in the toddler classroom to promote effective communication tools. Early communication can provide a boost in communication, self-esteem, and confidence. Routines are essential at this age to help children predict the events that will occur during the day.  

 Jupiter Learning Academy understands the need for two-year-old's to explore their surroundings safely. Two-year-old's are extremely lively and have plenty of energy.

Our two-year-old activities encourage self-expression through movement, music, creative arts, and dramatic play. The curriculum used in the two-year-old classroom is the Appelbaum curriculum which is designed to help children stay active and interested while they learn about animals, colors, numbers, shapes, letters, and so much more. It also helps the children to work together to accomplish goals and tasks while keeping them engaged throughout the day.
