Our Infant Program
Our infant program is a combination of parent/teacher communication/understanding. Working together, a plan for each babies' personalized care becomes the basis on which to move forward in the classroom. The main focus in our infant room is making sure your babies needs are met through a customized feeding and care schedule. Care will be provided through interaction, physical bonding, tummy time, and stimulation. Through all this, your baby will begin to form a bonding and trusting relationship with their teachers. This secure feeling will allow your baby to feel confident in exploring both rooms and becoming familiar with the routine. Some of the activities your babies ill be involved with include sensory painting, fine and gross motor skills with soft toys and blocks. Once your child moves into the older infant room they will be playing with climb on toys, push and pull toys, ball pit and circle time mat filled with books. The older infants will be using water tables where they will be able to fill and empty containers and have fun splashing. It's an exciting time for your baby and we are excited to move through this journey with you!

Infant Room 1 (6 Weeks to 10 Months)
Lead Teacher- Ms. AnnMarie
Hello,
My name is Ms. AnnMarie, I have been with Little Feet since its first day. I have been in the field of childcare for the past 10 years. I worked in the corporate world for a lot of my adult life and decided that I wanted to work in the childcare environment. I have my CDA in Infant/Toddler and am MAT Certified. During this time, I've held several positions within Little Feet. I am the lead teacher in our Infant Room 1 classroom, when I am not working as an administrator. I consider myself to be an expert in the field of infant care and enjoy engaging with all our babies while allowing them to reach their full potential. I live in Carmel with my daughter. My greatest hobby when not working with children is reading and decorating. I look forward to meeting you and working together to create an amazing experience for your child and you at Little Feet!
