The Infant Classroom

Meaningful one-to-one interactions with caregivers in a safe and loving environment.

We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your infant’s classroom foster Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts® through a nurturing environment with plenty of cuddles. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.

Active Minds

Learning is exciting, and your infant is eager to learn with a natural curiosity that knows no bounds. Our Balanced Learning® approach provides teachers with the tools and guidance to fully support each child while paying close attention to all aspects of their development.
  • Language & Literacy
    Language & Literacy

    Throughout the day, Infant teachers use sign language and read books to your little one. They talk and sing with your child during feeding, diaper changes and playtime. These interactions provide one-to-one attention while also helping your baby begin to understand language and conversation.

  • Science, Engineering & Technology
    Science, Engineering & Technology

    Children enter the world as natural scientists, curious to observe and explore how the world works and their role in it. All the while, they’re honing their senses and developing skills like observing and problem solving.

  • Mathematics
    Mathematics

    While math may sound like a big topic for an infant, they’re learning about shapes as they interact with toys, they explore numbers as teachers count their toes and they use all their senses to explore.

  • Social Studies
    Social Studies

    Your baby is learning about the people around them. With the support of caring teachers in this classroom, they learn how to interact with them and build relationships.

Healthy Bodies

Helping young children develop healthy habits takes time and consistency. That’s why health and wellness are woven into the Primrose Balanced Learning curriculum and daily classroom experiences all year long.
  • Thumbs Up!: Physical Development
    Thumbs Up!: Physical Development

    Motor skills are important building blocks for physical activity. That’s why your child’s teacher helps your infant focus on key small and large motor skills by reaching for and picking up objects, rolling, sitting, crawling and finally walking.

  • Health & Safety
    Health & Safety

    The health and safety of children and staff has always been our top priority. We hold each Primrose school to high standards of safety and cleanliness while maintaining a caring and nurturing environment where children can thrive.

    Exploring the arts is a great way to stimulate your children’s imagination and creative thinking. In our creative arts programs, your infant listens and moves to music, explores various art materials and expresses themselves creatively.

Wonder Time: Personalized Care & Instruction

Teachers introduce and reinforce concepts through integrated, authentic learning experiences known as Wonder Time. For younger children, Wonder Time is based on concrete sensory experiences such as seeing, touching, hearing and smelling, and is embedded into individual routines. Infants will feel comfort as their teacher sings a rhyming song while feeding them.

See What Families Are Saying

As new parents we were not sure what to expect when enrolling our son at Primrose. Very soon after he started in the infant room, our minds were put at ease. The teachers at Primrose are kind, thoughtful, safe and very communicative. Our son smiles every time we drop him off and we look forward to receiving a picture or two of him throughout the day. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is in a safe and loving environment where they can thrive.
We love Primrose! Our daughter started in the young infant class and is now in toddler. She loves going to school! I am thankful for all of her teachers along the way. I can tell she has formed special bonds with each of them.
