The Cuddle Bug Experience
Our Cuddle Bugs are cared for in a warm, nurturing environment designed to feel like home—a peaceful space where they are safe, loved, and free to explore. Our dedicated caregivers provide individualized attention, responding to each baby’s unique needs and natural rhythms with gentleness and care. Through soft music, sensory play, story time, and simple moments of connection, we support early development in communication, movement, and emotional growth.
Our program features warm, nurturing environments, stimulating activities with educational toys, and an exclusive milestone-based curriculum designed to promote immersive learning from the very start. In our infant room, every moment is purposeful, every interaction builds trust, and every day lays the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Our Infant Room is a Cozy Start to Lifelong Learning
Our Infant Room is a nature‑inspired space designed to nurture the youngest learners with comfort and care. It’s a special corner where little ones can discover the world around them — all under the watchful care of loving educators.
Here, every coo and giggle is celebrated as a milestone. Teachers respond with warmth and attentiveness, creating strong bonds that build trust and security. It’s a place where the tiniest learners feel safe, seen, and ready to grow.
From the soft rustle of mobiles to the cheerful animal rug beneath their feet, every detail invites wonder. Gentle routines help babies feel grounded while encouraging curiosity. In this nurturing space, bright futures begin with the smallest steps.
Approaches to Learning
Building independence through discovery of the world around them, and developing problem-solving abilities.
Cognitive Development
Increased understanding of their surroundings, as they begin to think critically and creatively.
Sample Activity: Shake It Like I Shake It
Milestone: Imitates familiar sounds and movements.
Desired Outcome: Infants develop the ability to pay attention and engage and interact with others.
- Teacher holds infant in lap, gives the child a rattle and holds onto one. The teacher says, “Look what I can do.”
- The teacher shakes the toy fast, slow, up high in the air, or down low, observing the infant and encouraging them to shake their own rattle.
- If the infant starts shaking their rattle, the teacher copies their actions and talks to them about what they’re doing, saying things such as, “You are shaking it up high. I am shaking it up high, too!”
Language Development
Strengthened communication abilities through sounds, expressions, body language, and ultimately, oral and written language; responding to and understanding others.
Physical Development
Exploring how to both coordinate and control large and small muscle movements; growing their understanding of health and safety concepts.
Social-Emotional Development
Building an understanding of their own emotions and their relationships with others, like family, friends, and community members; discovering how to interact with others while increasing their self-awareness.
Sample Activity: Up Close and Far Away
Milestone: (Gross motor skill) Turns head from side to side, kicks feet, moves hands.
Desired Outcome: Infants develop the ability to intentionally move parts of their body.
- Teacher places infant on their back on the floor and sits beside them. The teacher calls the child’s name and waits for the child to look at them.
- Once the child looks, the teacher holds out a stuffed animal and says something like, “Teddy wants to say hello to you.” Then the teacher pretends the animal gives the child a kiss, brings the animal back to the front, and says something like, “Teddy kissed your cheek.”
- The teacher continues moving the animal up close and back away while “kissing” different body parts. They observe if the child enjoys watching the animal move and if the child kicks their feet or moves their hands.
- The teacher continues talking to the child about everything the stuffed animal is doing and observing the child’s movement.
