EARLY CHILDHOOD

Our infants through one year olds are learning skills such as trunk control, neck strength, taking first steps, smiling for the first time and waving "bye-bye". Our infants reach these milestones through the way they play, speak, behave, and move. In the first year, we are helping our infants learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the world around them. Our GCA Preschool teachers work on cognitive development with our infants by helping the learning processes of memory, language, thinking and reasoning. Our infants are developing bonds of love and trust with parents and teachers as part of social and emotional development. The way we cuddle, hold, and play with our infants sets the basis for how they will interact with them and others.
