Bearly Tawl Infant Center
Welcome to our infant center! Here we provide all the comfort and care
of a home environment. We have seperate sleeping, eating and playing areas.
Daily Activites
Our infant center is structured
so that each child's individual needs can be met. The individual areas will allow infants who are ready
for a nap to sleep, while those who are not, can play without disturbing the others rest time. We provide a variety
of toys and equipment for each stage of development. Our toys are rotated every
day and washed before being used again. Motor skills
are encouraged and helped at each level of development. They also have outside time on our infant deck.
Eating
Infants who are still using
bottles are fed according to their own schedule. They are each held
until they have learned how to hold their own bottle. Table eating for the older infants is
done in a group setting after they are able to sit up unassisted. For those able to eat table food, they will be
provided with hot lunch finger foods. We encourage them in learning to feed themselves.
What's Provided
We will provide each child with diapers, wipes,
blankets and bedding. The children do not share blankets or bedding. These are washed on a
weekly basis or more if needed. The infant center is sanitized and cleaned on a daily
basis. Parents will need to provide all formula and baby food.
Infant Supervisor and Room Ratio
The ratio for our infant center is 5 to 1. The Infant Supervisor is CPR and First Aid
certified.
Visiting Nurse
Once a month we have a nurse visit the center.
She is a Registered Pediatric RN.
She monitors each child's development and will address any concerns the center or parents may have.
Security
Our infant building is equiped with panic bars at each exit.
This allows us to keep the doors locked from the outside at all times.
No one is allowed to enter unless we open the door for them.
However, from the inside the doors are kept unlocked during all hours of operation.
All designated parties picking up a child for the first time, that have not been introduced to the staff by the director, will have to show photo ID before the child will be released to them.
