Our Infant Environment

Infant Development at La Petite Academy

Where your infant spends his day is just as important as what she does there. So, just like the way you decorated your baby's nursery, we've meticulously designed his Academy environment to nurture him, and stimulate exploration and growth.

Stop by the Academy and you will notice the warm, caring environment and our dedication to cleanliness and sanitation. Every infant has his own crib, and special care is taken to personalize your child's resting space with pictures of your family and stimulating décor.

Activity Centers

Our infant rooms are organized into Activity Centers, which are filled with educational and age-appropriate toys, games and materials:

  • Music and Movement - including musical instruments such as miniature maracas, toys that make noise and sing
  • Language Development - including board books, vinyl books, picture card sets
  • Creative Arts and Exploration - including mirrored walls, plexiglass learning display, photo books
  • Gross Motor Play - including activity walkers, large climbing mats and push/pull play opportunities
  • Fine Motor and Self-Help Skills Building - including stacking blocks, reaction toys
  • Book and Storytelling Center - including favorite stories, puppets, soft animals
  • Quiet Play - including soft animals and dolls, soft clutch balls, soft activity mats

Quiet play and sleeping areas are, of course, located away from activity areas that include musical instruments and activity walkers.
