At Love-A-Lot we apply developmentally appropriate practices for all ages. This means that our caregivers provide challenges that are not too hard or too easy—something babies can do with a little help.

• Plan based on each child's individual age and stage of development

• Help each child meet goals that are just right for that child

• Value each child's family and culture

Our caregivers choose materials, activities, and strategies to use with infants:

• What most infants need—like toys of different shapes, sounds, and textures

• What individual babies need—like a special goodbye routine with Dad at drop-off time

• Ways to support every child's family and culture—like saying a few comforting words in the family's home language

Our caregivers balance your child's schedule so he/she gets the sleep they require, eats healthy food, moves around, explores interesting objects, learns how to get along with others, and actively helps with their own care as much as they can.
