Infant Classroom at Avant Garde Preschool & Early Learning Centers
With our babies, we are introducing the learning environment, language, and creating a seamless transition from home to school. We give infants one-on-one attention, helping new brain cells connect and promote feelings of security and confidence. Once the babies feel stable, it allows them to explore the environment around them with teacher guidance.
At Avant Garde, we practice Safe Sleep environments in our infant classrooms. We place all babies in a safety-approved crib with a firm mattress and a well-fitting sheet.

I am so grateful to have found Avant Garde!"

Our infant program is built to provide a nurturing and comfortable environment for babies as they transition into this new and exciting phase. Each week our lesson plans are planned out and divided into activities for mobile and non-mobile babies. We make sure that we pay close attention to each child's individual needs. Developmental activities will be planned out as needed and include practices like rolling over, head control and sitting up. It's all about what is best for the baby. Our infant room also takes part in arts and crafts with footprint and tummy time artwork.
For nap time, each infant has their own crib with their name and family pictures hanging on the wall. We always keep track of who can roll over and who is still practicing. Refrigerators are available to store formula or milk if mothers are nursing. At Avant Garde, we encourage parents to drop in any time! Moms are always welcome to stop in to nurse.

Teacher Highlight: Miss Valorie
Hello! My name is Valorie and I am excited for you and your child to be at our center! I have worked in the early childhood field for over fourteen years now! I have also taken many classes to further my knowledge and sharpen my skillset when working with children. I really enjoy working with the infants. My favorite thing about working with the infants is watching them grow, teaching them, and loving on them each and every day! I chose to become a teacher because I enjoy helping children, and seeing the influence I had on them in the future!
Hobbies: Outside of work I enjoy walking, tanning, dancing, and spending time with friends and family!

Infant Daily ReportEach parent is sent home with a daily report so that they know exactly what happened for the day.
We believe in constant communication during the transitional time, so we are always talking making notes and paying close attention to each child's individual needs and development. Each report will include the baby's nap time, feeding time, what they ate, how much they ate, diaper changes and activity descriptions. |

"We love Avant Garde! Having to leave our 7 month old baby at a daycare was so difficult but everyone at Avant Garde made it such a positive experience for all of us! Here we are 8 months later & I am so grateful we found these wonderful ladies. As first time parents, they have helped my husband & I with so much, including gradually transitioning our son's diet as he grows, food ideas for home, fun activity & project ideas for home, & ways to help him meet his milestones. They are so caring & helpful and I don't know what my son (or I) would have done without Annette as he was getting used to being away from us. Could not ask for a better group of ladies!"
